Outdoor food-packing scene under a striped tent at an ashram-style camp. Several volunteers in white dhotis with gold borders and green or blue hair caps sit and stand at a long table, handling plastic packets and containers. A woman in a green blouse and white sari works at the front, and a man in a white dhoti with a gold border sits in the foreground. Stacked boxes and a blue tarpaulin sit to the left, a truck is parked behind, and a large painted portrait of a smiling saffron-robed figure is hung on the tent wall, labelled with no readable text. Plastic chairs and a metal pot sit in the dirt in the foreground.
