Annadhan in 20132013-01-01April 14 20132013-04-14Interior photo of a large white-walled hall with ceiling fans and a gold-and-red throne at the far end. Rows of seated devotees in saffron and orange robes sit cross-legged on the floor before small lit candles and metal plates of food, a meal-service setting. A woman in an orange sari stands at right serving from a steel pot, while a person in orange bends near the throne area. A seated figure on the throne wears red-orange robes; no visible cues establish identity, so the throne occupant is treated as uncertain. Scene suggests an annadhan community meal.2013-01-01March 30 20162016-03-30Wide photograph of a large hall where many women in orange and saffron saris sit cross-legged on the floor in long rows along white cloths with green leaf plates, cups and water bottles in front of them. Several eat from leaf plates. At the far end on a raised platform, a figure in orange sits before a gold-framed throne-like seat beside an ornate stand, with a few people in white standing nearby. A large wall display of photographs hangs at the top left. The scene appears to be a communal meal served after a ritual gathering.2016-03-30Annadhan in 20132013-01-01 +1 copiesMarch 30 20162016-03-30A large hall during a ritual gathering. In the foreground at left, a man with long dark swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a maroon wrap sits on a gold-trimmed raised seat with a red-and-orange cloth before him, holding a small object while facing the room. A tall silver trident stands beside him. Many rows of seated participants in orange and saffron robes face the central floor, with banana-leaf style plates and water bottles laid out on white mats. Other people in white clothes sit near the centre aisle, and a line of standing attendants in white is at the back of the hall beneath a wall of framed photographs.2016-03-30A photograph of a seated group of women in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas, sitting cross-legged on a white marble floor during a ritual gathering. In the foreground, a woman in orange sits before a gold-edged woven seat with a red canopy fringe at the left edge, and banana-leaf plates with food and small cups are arranged before the devotees. A standing fan and a bowl of flowers are visible at the right. Several women in deep red saris with gold borders sit in the front row, hands folded, with a grey fan and a small cloth-covered table in the background.2014-09-13September 11 20132013-09-11A large hall with pink walls and hanging red-and-orange paper lanterns shows rows of women in orange saffron robes seated on the marble floor, hands pressed in anjali. In front of each seated woman is a banana-leaf plate with food offerings and small brass cups, arranged in long lines. Behind them more seated devotees in orange and maroon fill the hall, and a stage at the far end shows a glowing backdrop. Framed pictures line the walls. Seated white-clad attendees sit near the left edge. The scene resembles a communal meal or annadan ritual.2018-01-08A large hall with red curtains and fluorescent ceiling lights holds many seated devotees on mats in rows facing a central pink-carpeted aisle lined with silver stanchions. Most are dressed in saffron and orange robes, while a section on the right wears white. Some sit before small brass plates and oil lamps. No single figure can be clearly identified as a person, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.2013-07-23
