Outdoor food-packing station under a colourful striped canopy with a red, green and orange border. Several women wearing hairnets and disposable gloves sit at folding tables wrapping food in silver foil packets; one man in a navy top stands at the table and handles packets. Women in white and cream saris, one in a red blouse, one in a green top, work together. Plastic tubs of packets and large water containers sit on the tables, a yellow three-wheeled van is parked beside, and a banner with a smiling saffron-clad portrait hangs at the left edge. Palm trees and a dirt ground surround the stall.
