A covered outdoor relief kitchen under a dark tarpaulin roof on a flat, sandy site with palm trees beyond. Women in green and red saris and blue hair nets sit and work among heaps of produce: green okra-like pods, pale green gourds, red tomatoes and piles of fresh ginger on blue tarps. Large white sacks of rice or grain are stacked in the foreground, and steel cooking pots and tables are set up along the back. Several people are visible in the background, working around the stalls. No one is identifiable as a particular figure, and this is an everyday relief-camp scene rather than a ritual.
