A photograph of a food serving line in a tiled hall. A man in an orange saffron turban and orange robe, with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, stands behind a steel pot ladling food onto a steel plate held by a girl in a pink and white top with a braid and glasses. Behind them, women in blue, cream and white saris and a woman in a white top with red necklaces help serve and wait. Steel vessels, flatbreads and yellow curry are visible. Swamiji (probable): the man wears orange saffron cloth, long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's identification as Nithyananda Paramashivam serving annadan at the Nithyananda Spurana Convention in Avadi, Chennai.
