A seated figure in a saffron-orange wrap with a white flower garland and gold beaded necklace, with bangles on the arm, smiles while reaching into a large silver tray of cooked rice and vegetables. Beside him, a woman in a white sari with a brown shawl and rudraksha-style beads stands and holds a plate of yellow rice. Around them, several young children in orange robes gather closely, one reaching toward the tray. A woman in a red sari kneels nearby, and a floral garland decorates a corner with a deity murti in the background. The setting suggests a food offering or annadan style ritual.2014-08-17A ritual photograph in a temple hall before an ornate silver-embossed backdrop.

He takes turmeric-coloured offerings from a woman in an orange sari and a silver bowl in front of him, while an attendant with white body markings and a rudraksha mala stands at left. A woman in a white sari holds a steel bowl at right, and a banana leaf with yellow offerings sits on a stone pedestal. Partially visible figures frame the scene.
