Photograph of volunteers carrying a large metal cooking vessel outdoors in bright sunlight. A woman in the center wears a white hairnet, an orange blouse and a multicoloured floral-print sari with a red border, and she leans over the pot with her hands on its rim. Two men flank the vessel: one on the left in a white checked short-sleeved shirt and khaki trousers, gripping the pot, and one on the right with his back to the camera in a light grey shirt. Another person in a white cap stands behind them. The scene suggests communal food preparation or distribution, consistent with annadhan activity.
