Volunteers cook food for an annadaan at a relief camp. A large steel cooking pot sends up thick clouds of steam in a dim hall. A man in a white vest and a hairnet pours rice from a white sack into the pot while another man in a checked shirt, also wearing a hairnet, stirs with a long steel ladle. On the left, two women in an orange-and-white sari and a pink sari, also in hairnets, stand beside steel bowls. Shelves and containers fill the background.
