A photograph of a utilitarian kitchen with white walls, a barred window and a red-brown door. A woman in a blue and white sari with an orange shawl leans over a stove, stirring or ladling from a brass pot. Behind her, a person in white clothes stands with hands on hips near a steel shelf of pots. Large steel cooking pots, covered steel trays, milk churns and red gas cylinders fill the floor, with a pot of orange-brown curry in the foreground. A man in white stands at the left edge.

Interior of a plain, unfinished kitchen or utility room with a corrugated metal roof, bare grey concrete walls and a concrete floor. A woman in an orange and brown patterned sari walks through the centre of the room. Another woman in a white garment leans over a counter at the right, working near steel vessels. Through an open yellow door on the left, several people in white clothing are visible in a doorway. Shelves hold stainless steel pots, a white refrigerator and a gas cylinder stands against the wall. Two framed portraits in blue frames lean against the wall at the lower right, one showing a figure seated on a lotus-like pink and white seat. A small framed plaque hangs above the doorway.

A kitchen with worn red-brown floor and white tiled walls, where three people in white clothes with orange sashes cook. A woman in white with a green head cloth stirs a large steel pot, a man bends over a steel vessel near a gas cylinder, and a young man with curly hair and an orange shawl stirs rice in a wok-like pan over a stove. Steel containers, a colander of cooked rice and shelves of vessels line the room. Watermarked archive photo of kitchen service.

A photograph of a busy kitchen with white-tiled walls and barred windows. A woman in a white sari with an orange shawl stands at left beside a gas stove. A woman in a patterned sari and a purple head covering bends over a steel counter. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a white marked forehead moves past large steel pots and trays, one covering a steaming pot. Steel cups, shelves of containers and a hot water heater are visible.

A photo of a large, bare-walled industrial-style kitchen hall with a corrugated metal roof, steel roof trusses and a red-painted concrete floor. Several people in saffron and orange robes walk between stainless steel cooking pots, tables and pans. One figure in orange draped cloth walks in the centre, another in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl walks beside them, and a third in orange robes walks on the right. A person in blue sits cross-legged at left near a pot, another crouches in white at lower centre, and a figure sits at a far doorway. Against the back wall stand framed portraits and small deity images on a white-covered table with a lamp, and a blue water tank sits on a raised platform. The scene reads as a communal food preparation area.

A photo of a steamy community kitchen with tiled walls and barred windows. In the foreground, large stainless steel pots and a covered steel tray sit on the counter, with a steaming vessel in the centre. A woman in a light orange-bordered white sari stands at left by a water heater. Another woman in a brown sari with a blue blouse bends over a cooking counter at centre. At right, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, wearing a rudraksha mala, stirs or tends a pot. Shelves with containers and kitchen utensils line the walls.

A kitchen interior with a red-tinted floor and a metal roof framework above. A figure in an orange-yellow wrap stands at left, holding a large steel vessel, with a steel pot and cooking pots on a counter behind. A second person in white crouches near a low stool at centre, and a blue-and-red gas cylinder sits in the foreground. Bright, overexposed lighting washes out much of the scene. The figure in orange is a cook or devotee; no clear a person cues are visible.
