A photograph of a free meal (annadan) served on a red carpeted floor inside a white tent. Seated in rows are uniformed police officers in khaki and tan shirts and trousers, plus civilians including women in saris and salwar kameez, children and older men, all eating from white paper plates. A bearded man in a white kurta and white head cover, with a saffron cloth over his shoulder and a blue bucket in hand, walks down the row serving food. In the background stands an ornate golden throne-like shrine with a deity murti under a green canopy, and more white-clad attendants move through the tent. Many people are visible, roughly thirty or more.
