A photograph of a long row of men seated cross-legged on a polished marble floor, eating a meal served on fresh green banana leaves. Most wear white dhotis and white shirts, and some have sacred ash or red marks on their foreheads. Each leaf holds rice, yellow curries and small side dishes, with steel glasses of water beside them. A man in a white dhoti stands at the far end serving food, and a yellow-draped structure is visible at the top right. The scene looks like a communal meal in an ashram dining hall.2012-05-20 +3 copiesNovember 12 2006 Salem Aadheenam Inauguration2006-11-12November 02 20092009-11-02November 12 2006 Salem Aadheenam Inauguration2006-11-12September 05 20132013-09-05 +2 copiesA photograph of a long row of seated devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with orange-saffron shawls draped over their shoulders, sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor under an open pavilion.
