A large open-sided relief camp under a corrugated metal roof and striped cloth awnings, serving as an annadaan kitchen. Large steel cooking pots and vessels sit on blue tarpaulins, with heaps of green mangoes, red chillies, ginger, onions and sacks of grain laid out on the ground. Several people in white clothes and white caps or head coverings tend the food and move among plastic chairs. A small truck is parked at the right edge, and palm trees appear beyond the tent.

Several men wear white hairnets and work seated on blue tarps around large aluminium pots and pans, chopping red chillies and handling vegetables. A young man in a dark patterned shirt and green head covering lifts a pot lid, and a man in a red t-shirt sits near bags of rice and produce. Stacks of cabbage, onions and green vegetables lie on the right, and gas cylinders stand at the edge. Other people in white clothing move in the background.2012-01-06A covered outdoor relief kitchen under a dark tarpaulin roof on a flat, sandy site with palm trees beyond. Women in green and red saris and blue hair nets sit and work among heaps of produce: green okra-like pods, pale green gourds, red tomatoes and piles of fresh ginger on blue tarps. Large white sacks of rice or grain are stacked in the foreground, and steel cooking pots and tables are set up along the back. Several people are visible in the background, working around the stalls. No one is identifiable as a particular figure, and this is an everyday relief-camp scene rather than a ritual.2012-01-06January 04 20122012-01-04January 06 20122012-01-06January 06 20122012-01-06
