Outdoor food service under a striped canopy in red, green, blue and white with fringed edges. Men and women in white clothing and light green or blue hairnets stand beside large metal cooking pots, one holding food being dished or stirred, another with cooked pieces visible. Men wear checked shirts, a dark maroon shirt and trousers, and one man in a white dhoti stands at left. Seated women in saree-style clothing eat at plastic tables and chairs on a dirt ground, with parked cars and trees in the background. The scene shows annadhan, a free food distribution.
