A makeshift open-sided kitchen under a corrugated metal roof with wooden poles, where a crowd gathers around steel cooking vessels and serving tables. In the centre, a bearded sadhu in orange robes and a staff stands among others in saffron and orange garments. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand nearby, and a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl stands at right. Stainless steel pots, a gas cylinder, sacks of grain and blue and red mats fill the space. Printed text on a sack and a flyer is visible on the tables.
