A photo inside a large white tent at a banquet, where several seated guests eat from round brass thalis set with rice, curries, vegetables and sliced cucumber on white tablecloths with lace-like patterns. On the right, a man in an orange kurta with a rudraksha mala and a bindi and sandal-paste forehead marks smiles at the camera beside a bare-faced man in an orange top and rudraksha mala. Standing guests in white and pastel clothing and lanyards move in the background. A woman in a patterned black jacket and beige shawl smiles at the centre. Several people are visible, so the count is in the 6-20 range.

Men in white dhotis sit behind, and a shaved-headed man in white and a bare-chested man with white markings sit at the left edge.

A busy communal kitchen during a large event. A woman in an orange saffron sari with an orange head wrap stands center-left, smiling and serving food from a steel bowl to people in line. Around her, devotees in white kurtas and white dresses, some with orange scarves and lanyards, wait and help. Steel cooking vessels and serving counters line the left side, and pink tiled walls with notices stand behind. Many women with long braids in white, yellow, pink and orange saris fill the foreground and background. Several people appear to be serving or organizing the meal. The woman in orange is not clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no identification is claimed.
