A open-sided corrugated metal shelter on bare sandy ground serves as a community kitchen during relief work. Large black and metal cooking pots sit over small wood fires, with stacked white rice sacks and blue tarpaulins spread on the ground. Several women in colourful saris and men in shirts and white dhotis work around the pots, some wearing head coverings and a few wearing blue or yellow shirts. Palm trees and debris are visible beyond the shelter. No ceremony or a person is shown.
