Outdoor food-distribution scene under a long patterned tent canopy with red, green, navy and yellow stripes. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and a white dhoti with a yellow-green border stands with arms folded, facing away. Several volunteers in white clothes and green hairnets bend over a large black pot of cooked food, one stirring or lifting with a ladle. Many large steel cooking vessels sit on the dusty ground beneath the tent, with other workers and a woman in a teal sari in the background. The scene shows an annadan kitchen operation in progress.
