A photograph of a large outdoor food-preparation camp under a open tarpaulin-style shelter. Many women wearing white hair nets sit on the ground and at tables, sorting and stripping bunches of green leafy herbs spread across white sheets and tarps. A woman in a white saree with pink border and gold bangles, in the centre, threads the leaves by hand. Nearby, a woman in an orange saree and red bangles smiles while seated on a plastic chair, and a woman in a maroon saree with gold dots works beside her. A woman in a blue saree sorts greens on a table with steel tumblers, and a large blue plastic drum stands at right. Steel vessels and a plastic water bottle sit among the leaves. This is an annadan food-service preparation scene. No robed figure is visible in this frame.
