Several women in matching rust-red saris with golden-yellow borders work in a kitchen, cooking food for a large gathering. In the centre, a woman in a red sari and white hairnet stirs a large aluminium pot of yellow rice with a long metal ladle. Women around her wear rudraksha malas and white hairnets, and smile as they work. Steel vessels and lids sit on the floor, and a cooking pot stands at the lower left. Pale walls and a fluorescent light fill the background. This is a kitchen service scene, with the women preparing food as an annadan-style meal.
