Outdoor cooking area under a thatched palm-leaf roof with a bamboo-and-palm backdrop. Three people work at large steel vessels: a man in an orange-and-white striped shirt on the left stirs or tends a pot, a man in a white shirt and checked green lungi in the centre pours from a large steel pot over a dark green board, and a woman in a white sari with maroon border stands at the right holding a steel vessel. Steel bowls, a ladle and pots sit on the ground and counter. No a person candidate is visible, so the scene is a kitchen or annadan-style food preparation.
