A covered outdoor cooking area with a corrugated roof and tall poles, used for mass food preparation. Several workers in white shirts and mundu or lungi, wearing light green hairnets, stand around large aluminium and black cooking vessels set over gas stoves and burners. A man in a blue checked shirt and orange-red lungi stirs a pot, while others in pink and white shirts tend to food. Stacked firewood and cylinders of gas sit nearby, and a steel table holds packets of snacks and metal containers. Palm trees and bare trees surround the open ground, with a red cloth hanging on a pole behind. This appears to be an annadhan food-preparation scene.
