A photograph of an annadan food service in a tent with gold-fringed yellow valances. A woman in a white hairnet, white apron and clear plastic gloves ladles food from a copper-and-brass chafing dish on the left. A man in white kurta and dhoti stands at the right, and white-clad devotees line the background. Behind them, a figure in a saffron-orange garment with a long necklace stands near the centre, possibly a person by appearance; this cannot be confirmed. Other saffron-robed monastics and white-clad people stand nearby.
