A busy outdoor-style kitchen area for food distribution. Three women work at large pots: one in a lavender sari with a red and white floral border stirs a steaming aluminium vessel with a long ladle, another in a white top and dark skirt wearing a white head covering bends over a basin, and a third in a striped shirt and dark skirt with a white cap pours liquid from a ladle into a big pot. Behind them, two men in orange clothing stand near a wall with a steaming vessel. The backdrop is a colourful painted cloth with peacock and floral motifs. Sacks and cooking gas cylinders lie on the ground.
