Many people wear white clothing, including white shirts and dhotis, while several women wear white saris with orange or blue borders. Some people sit on the grass eating from pale leaf or paper plates, and others sit on white plastic chairs. A woman in the foreground holds a plate, and a girl in a pink outfit with a flower in her hair sits on the grass. Two banners hang under the canopy, a man in a white shirt walks through the crowd, and a woman in an orange-bordered sari stands at a serving area on the right.

A large crowd of devotees is gathered under a green tarpaulin canopy decorated with colourful triangular bunting, lined with a red-and-white striped border. Many people in white clothes, saris and salwars stand and sit on blue plastic chairs on a red carpet, several holding round metal or banana-leaf plates of food. Men in white shirts and dhotis, and women in white and coloured saris, move through the rows. Hanging lights and a floodlight on a pole are visible. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person.

A large outdoor communal meal on a red mat-covered ground, with many devotees seated cross-legged in rows. Many wear white or cream clothing, several women in saris with bright blue, green and orange borders, and some children in colourful frocks. People hold leaf plates and steel tumblers, and a few servers in white bend over to serve food. Pale plastic chairs are visible at the back, and a row of tall trees and a building stand beyond the crowd. Some attendees wear lanyard badges.

A large outdoor tented meal, an annadan-style communal feast, with many people seated on red mats under a yellow and red draped canopy decorated with marigold garlands. A woman in a cream sari with a green border stands centre-left holding a steel plate, and seated men wear white dhotis and shirts. Other diners in green, orange and teal saris eat from steel plates while volunteers in white move between rows. A devotee in white sits centre-front with a rudraksha-style mala, holding a plate. No candidate for a person is clearly identifiable by appearance in this view.

A large outdoor pandal with red and yellow canopies and blue-and-yellow scalloped valances hangs over a red mat where many people in white clothes sit and stand. Men in white shirts and white dhotis move among seated devotees, some holding round metal plates or trays, apparently serving food. Yellow and blue draped cloth panels line the enclosure and a few seated people wear colourful clothing, including a child in a yellow dress. The scene resembles a communal meal or annadan within the tent.
