A large, bright hall with a corrugated metal roof, ceiling fans and rows of windows, filled with a dense crowd of people standing and queuing for a communal meal. Men wear white shirts and white dhotis, while many women wear cotton saris in pink, peach, orange and maroon. Several volunteers in white stand behind long serving tables, one holding a steel vessel and ladling food onto plates held out by queuing devotees, with stacks of flatbread visible on a table. Many participants wear name badges. Standing and serving activity suggests an annadan meal distribution.
