A photograph of an open-sided outdoor cooking area beneath a rough wooden and corrugated roof, beside a brick wall. A man in a white shirt and checked lungi sits on the ground near a large black metal cooking pot and a steel bowl, while a shirtless man in an orange vest sits cross-legged beside another pot preparing vegetables. A third man bends over bundled sacks, and a woman in a blue and purple sari with a teal blouse walks past with a young man in a grey shirt. Yellow sacks, plastic bags, stacked firewood and a plastic container surround them on a dusty ground. No deity, ritual or ashram symbols are visible.
