A photograph of an open-sided outdoor kitchen under a corrugated tin roof at night, with a bamboo frame and a strip of multicoloured bunting overhead. Large black cooking pots sit on the ground and on stoves, and a bright tube light hangs from the frame. Several men stand around in shirts, a white vest and a dhoti, one wearing glasses, and a woman in a green head cloth and dark wrap works at the right. A seated older woman sorts green leafy vegetables into steel bowls on a white cloth, and blue and purple plastic buckets and sacks are scattered across the paved floor. A steel container sits on a rolling weighing scale at the left.
