A woman in a yellow floral sari bends forward at the front, and a woman in a red blouse and white sari stands at right beside a woman in a teal sari. A man in a white shirt and a man in a grey shirt stand among them.

Large steel cooking vessels sit on open wood fires on bare ground. Several people in white shirts and dhotis, and women in saris, wear blue-green hair caps and work around the pots and metal trays of cooked rice and prepared food. Sacks, plastic packets and bowls lie on the ground. Palm trees and a boundary wall are visible behind, and a child stands at the right. Plain work clothing and the open ground suggest a relief-food setting.2012-01-04
