A photo of an open-sided corrugated-roof tent at night used as a community kitchen for an annadaan relief meal. Many workers in white aprons and hairnets stand and crouch around large steel cooking pots over open wood fires, one with glowing flames at right. Women in saris and older men sit on blue tarpaulins on the dirt floor, with white sacks of grain and bags stacked around them. Bright tube lights hang from the poles, and large white plastic water jugs labelled REAL sit in the foreground. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
