Inside a large relief kitchen tent with a red and teal patterned canopy and a painted backdrop of a landscape with trees, volunteers prepare food for annadan. Several men in white dhotis and sleeveless shirts and women in orange, white and red saris work among large aluminium cooking pots, one with a lid marked MGR. A woman in a white sari and orange blouse bends over a pot with a steel bowl, another woman in a green head covering cleans a vessel at left, and red gas cylinders sit on a blue tarpaulin and muddy floor. No identifiable depiction of a person appears in the frame.
