A photo inside a white tented space with gold drapes, where a serving line is underway. A man in orange robes with a long-haired, swept-back style and a rudraksha mala stands at a silver tray, handing out a plate of food; the cues are distinctive but identity is uncertain, so this is a sannyasi server. Beside him another saffron-robed person with a mala and a shaved head reaches out with a plate. Devotees in white and red shawls, including a woman in white with a red-bordered shawl, collect plates and food from a brass and steel serving area. A copper pot and food trays are on the tables, and a short-haired person at the front wears a white top with a red-bordered shawl.
