A photograph of an open-sided outdoor cooking area beneath a rough wooden and corrugated roof, beside a brick wall. A man in a white shirt and checked lungi sits on the ground near a large black metal cooking pot and a steel bowl, while a shirtless man in an orange vest sits cross-legged beside another pot preparing vegetables. A third man bends over bundled sacks, and a woman in a blue and purple sari with a teal blouse walks past with a young man in a grey shirt. Yellow sacks, plastic bags, stacked firewood and a plastic container surround them on a dusty ground. No deity, ritual or ashram symbols are visible.

A covered outdoor kitchen under a corrugated metal roof and a strip of colourful cloth, set on a paved floor beside a red earth bank and green foliage. Several workers, mostly men in lungis and head cloths, tend large black cooking pots on stoves and tables. In the foreground are stacked white and blue rice sacks, purple plastic tubs, steel vessels and a yellow tarp, consistent with a large-scale annadhan meal preparation.

A photograph of a food preparation area under colourful striped canopy awnings with red and green patterned fabric hanging behind. Several men in lungis and shirts, some wearing green and white hairnets, stand around large steel cooking pots and vessels. Foreground shows a steel bowl of chopped vegetables, a yellow-stained bucket and a steel container. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left stirring a large pot.

A man in a saffron-orange robe and dark rudraksha mala stands at right beside a steel table of produce and pots. Several people in white dhotis and green head cloths work around large steel cooking vessels, sacks of grain and a red gas cylinder. A woman in a purple sari stands at left.

Outdoor food preparation under a corrugated roof on bare dirt ground at a relief camp. Large aluminium cooking pots and steel vessels sit on portable metal stoves and tripods, with a blue tarp holding white rice sacks and vegetables on the left. Several men in white caps and hairnets work among the pots; one in a white shirt and blue lungi stands at right, and others in orange or white cloths and mixed clothing move around the cooking area. Plastic chairs, a truck and parked vehicles appear in the background under palm trees.

An open-sided, thatched-roof outdoor kitchen with bamboo rafters and a concrete floor, where several cooks prepare food in large steel pots and pans over gas burners. Three people are visible: a man in a striped orange-and-white shirt at right, a man in a white shirt at far right, and a woman in a white sari with a blue border tending a steaming pot at centre; another person in a white shirt stands behind her. Stacks of steel plates and lidded vessels sit on the left, alongside orange crates, LPG gas cylinders and a plastic water tank behind. A partly visible printed banner hangs on a bamboo wall at the back.

A covered outdoor cooking area under a corrugated metal roof supported by wooden beams and poles, with fluorescent tube lights and palm trees beyond. Several men in white caps or hair nets and dhotis, one in an orange-yellow dhoti, stir and serve food from large steel cooking pots set over stoves. Other men in shirts and trousers stand around the pots, and colourful striped cloth canopies extend to the right. Firewood lies at the lower left. Scene appears to be a food distribution, annadaan, at a relief camp.

Outdoor metal casting work under a blue tarpaulin roof supported by wooden poles and lattice panels, with a concrete block wall behind. A standing figure in a flowing orange-saffron garment with long dark hair, pointing with one arm, appears to be a person, with the cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing; he stands above three seated men. A seated man in a white shirt tends a furnace or crucible area with metal pieces, a man in a white vest sits at right, and a man in a striped shirt sits in the centre near large clay and metal vessels on the ground. Workshop tools and a large metal pot are visible in the foreground.
