A night-time outdoor relief kitchen under a striped canvas tarpaulin tent, lit by fluorescent tube lights hung from the poles. Large stainless steel cooking vessels and pots sit on the bare ground in the foreground, some with lids, and more pots and tables are arranged under the tent. Blue plastic sheets cover the floor and a patterned rug hangs at the back. A few people are faintly visible in the background, one wearing a striped shirt, working among the cooking stations. The scene reflects annadaan food service for a community medical camp, with no a person visible.
