A photo of a large, bare-walled industrial-style kitchen hall with a corrugated metal roof, steel roof trusses and a red-painted concrete floor. Several people in saffron and orange robes walk between stainless steel cooking pots, tables and pans. One figure in orange draped cloth walks in the centre, another in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl walks beside them, and a third in orange robes walks on the right. A person in blue sits cross-legged at left near a pot, another crouches in white at lower centre, and a figure sits at a far doorway. Against the back wall stand framed portraits and small deity images on a white-covered table with a lamp, and a blue water tank sits on a raised platform. The scene reads as a communal food preparation area.
