Two large metal cooking vessels stand on bare dirt ground outdoors. The bigger one on the right is filled with rows of foil-wrapped packets, silver foil crinkled over dark brown food portions. A smaller similar vessel sits to the left. Behind them are a metal table, orange plastic chairs, and the legs and feet of people in colourful clothing, partly visible at the edge. A rope lies coiled on a chair at the top right. No a person is visible in this image.

Two people stand at the tubs, one in white dhoti and one in dark trousers and white shirt, with only legs and lower bodies visible at the frame's edge.

Several large aluminium and steel pots, some with lids and one with a long ladle resting on it, sit on the red-earth ground beside a dirt bank and bamboo poles. Steam rises from the pots. Two or three workers stand at the pots wearing headcloths and lungis, one stirring a pot with a long paddle, and a person in a dark top stirs another in the background. Scattered debris and a few plastic bits lie on the paved floor. Orange cloth hangs from a pole at the top of the bank. This appears to be food preparation for annadan, a community meal.2012-11-27An outdoor community kitchen under a striped and patterned canvas awning.
