Several volunteers in white caps and white clothing serve from a counter, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border and purple blouse stands at right. Devotees in red, maroon and green clothes carry orange marigold garlands in their hair and hands. A large yellow banner at left shows a bearded man in orange and white robes with a rudraksha mala, labelled with a printed name. Two deity murtis draped in orange and yellow garlands stand on a ledge beside the serving area. A timestamp reads Apr 16, 2022 5:52:35 PM.
