Outdoor relief kitchen under a tarpaulin roof with wooden posts, where men cook in large steel pots over open fire. Four men in green head cloths and lungis work at the front: one stirs rice with a long ladle from a big pot, another in a white vest and maroon cloth stands beside him, a bare-chested man in a blue checked lungi stands nearby, and a man in a pink shirt works at the right. Other steel vessels sit on the sandy ground, and palm trees and damaged rooftops stand in the background.
