A man in a white collared shirt and a blue-and-white checked lungi sits crouched on a concrete floor in a simple open kitchen with a thatched roof. He stirs a large aluminium pot filled with cooked white rice or pulao, his right arm reaching into the pot with a spoon. A red thread is tied on his wrist. Behind him are a copper vessel, jars of spices and a metal shelf, and another pot sits at the right edge, consistent with preparing food for an annadaan meal.
