Photograph of a long queue of men in a large indoor hall with dark stone floors and red-brown granite pillars, waiting to collect food from a serving counter. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; a few wear checked or pale pink shirts. Two men in the foreground, one in a white shirt and blue jeans and another in a white shirt and khaki trousers, stand talking near the counter, while another holds a steel plate. Steel plates and bowls are carried along the line. Meal service of this kind suggests annadan-style communal food distribution. No a person candidate is visible.
