A photograph of a communal meal line in an open courtyard at an ashram. Many people dressed in white shirts, white dhotis and white saris stand and queue, some holding steel plates and bowls. Stainless steel pots and a serving table sit in the foreground, and a man in a white shirt and dhoti ladles food. Terracotta-tiled roofed sheds line the right side with more people seated, and white-walled buildings with red window frames stand to the left under a bright sky. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable among the visible people.

Outdoor courtyard scene at an ashram building with white walls and wooden doors. Many people sit on the tiled floor in rows, most wearing saffron-orange robes with a red-bordered shawl, while others wear plain white clothing. Several sit eating from metal plates of yellow rice, with steel plates and a round metal table at left. Bamboo poles with orange cloth streamers, potted plants and green shrubbery frame the scene. A woman in white with light hair sits near the centre. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in this crowd.

Outdoor scene at a white building with red trim and a large green tree on the left. Around a dusty ground in front, a row of about a dozen people sit cross-legged on the earth eating from metal plates, most dressed in white with white shirts and mundu or pants, some wearing dark or red tops. A standing man in white shirt and a seated man in white stand near the building's doorway. At the far right, a man in an orange-saffron garment sits apart from the group, and a thatched hut and hedge appear in the background under a clear blue sky.

Outdoor scene on dry dirt ground beside a white-walled structure. Several men in plain white dhotis and white shirts sit cross-legged on yellow cloth mats, eating from fresh green banana leaves set before them. Each leaf holds mounds of white rice and yellow-tinted rice with other food. A man standing at right in a white dhoti and shirt serves food from a metal pot. Other seated people in white clothing, some wearing garlands, and rows of sandals are visible in the background.

A photograph of a seated communal meal in an open-sided pavilion with a concrete floor and a long steel serving counter along the back wall. About a dozen people in white clothes sit on mats on the floor, eating from banana-leaf plates with steel tumblers, while a cameraman in white stands at the left edge filming. At the lower right, a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe sits on a blue cloth beside a small tray holding a plate of rice and curries, serving or eating. Trees and thatched structures are visible outside through the open walls, and a steel pot sits near the foreground.

A open-sided pavilion with a yellow-orange tent roof and cement block walls sees a seated communal meal. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts sit cross-legged on mats, many on green banana leaves with steel tumblers, while a server in a white dhoti and orange shawl moves along the row. A woman in a white sari and a woman in blue sit among the men, and an attendant in white stands at the right edge carrying a vessel. Dishes of food sit on a tray at the lower left. Garden greenery and a red gate are visible beyond the open sides.

Outdoor lunch break under a thatched open-sided shelter with wooden posts and a red tiled floor, surrounded by green shrubs. Devotees in plain white shirts, white dhotis and white kurtas eat from metal plates; a man in the foreground on the left wears a dark rudraksha-style mala and an ID badge, while a seated man in white holds a plate of food and another man at right eats from a steel plate. Several women in white saris and cream blouses also sit and eat. Light-coloured plastic chairs and a few people standing with plates suggest a communal meal during an inner healing training break.

A photograph of ashram participants eating a meal under a thatched open-sided shelter with wooden posts, surrounded by green trees and bushes. Most people wear all-white clothing: men in white shirts and dhotis or trousers, and women in white saris with coloured borders. Several seated men hold round metal plates of food, one eating with his hand while others serve or stand nearby. A man in the foreground sits on a wooden post at right, holding a plate of yellow curry. The floor is reddish tile, and lanyards are visible on some people.
