A photograph of a cook in a covered kitchen area preparing food. A bare-chested, grey-haired man in a pale peach dhoti and sacred thread stands beside a large copper cooking vessel with a lid. Stainless steel pots and pans sit on a rough concrete counter, and a gold-tinted dish simmers on a portable gas stove. A red gas cylinder rests on the right next to a steel bowl, and a lattice wall sits behind him.
