A large tented food preparation area at night, lit by strip fluorescent tubes hung from poles under a tarpaulin roof. Heaps of produce cover blue tarps and the ground: orange carrots, bright green chillies or beans, red tomatoes, and piles of brown ginger or tubers, with white rice sacks stacked to the right. Volunteers in white clothes, some with green head caps, sit and stand at work tables and cook at the back of the tent, and a woman in an orange sari stands at centre. A striped and floral tent canopy runs along the right side.

A large open-sided tent kitchen at night, lit by tubular fluorescent lights hung from poles and a tarp roof. Heaps of fresh produce cover blue tarps on the ground: green okra or beans, red chillies, and a pile of ginger. Several workers in white shirts and head coverings stand among steel pots and cooking tables, and large white sacks are stacked along the right. The setting suggests food preparation for annadaan, though the image shows only the kitchen and produce, with no a person visible.2012-01-06A large open-sided tent kitchen with a tarpaulin roof and striped awnings, lit by strip lights. Heaps of fresh vegetables, including green bitter gourd, orange carrots, pale squash, red tomatoes and green beans, lie on blue tarpaulins on the ground beside sacks of rice and flour. Volunteers in white clothing and green head coverings sit and prepare food at low tables, while others stand and move about in the background. This appears to be an annadaan food-preparation area.2012-01-06January 06 20122012-01-06A dim, open-sided tent kitchen at a relief camp, lit by a row of tubular fluorescent lights hung from poles. Piles of fresh green chillies, red chillies and other vegetables lie on blue tarpaulins in the foreground.

Behind them, white sacks of supplies are piled up, and several people in white clothing and some in green head coverings work at tables and near a yellow van.

Women in green and red saris and blue hair nets sit and work among heaps of produce: green okra-like pods, pale green gourds, red tomatoes and piles of fresh ginger on blue tarps. Large white sacks of rice or grain are stacked in the foreground, and steel cooking pots and tables are set up along the back. Several people are visible in the background, working around the stalls. No one is identifiable as a particular figure, and this is an everyday relief-camp scene rather than a ritual.2012-01-06January 06 20122012-01-06Photo of an open-sided tented cooking area for an annadaan relief kitchen.
