Outdoor food preparation camp under a long tarpaulin canopy with striped cloth awnings. Three saffron-robed monks walk through the middle; the centre one wears a teal head covering, an orange robe and a long beaded mala, and the other two wear orange robes with shaved heads. Women in teal head caps and saris sit on the ground chopping cauliflower and cutting vegetables on plates and tarps. Large steel pots and tubs sit around them, with bags of produce and a heap of tomatoes in the lower right. A cameraman in a white shirt films the scene at right. Palm trees and white buildings stand in the background.
