Indian women cook vegetable at a common kitchen and dining room in Sevagram Ashram in Maharashtra. There was no kitchen or dining room when the ashram was built. The inmates were cooking at the south-western corner of a room of Adi-Niwas. Since the number of Ashram inmates and visitors increased, Gandhiji had a new separate kitchen built. It is situated to the Southeast of Adi-Niwas. The kitchen is very simple and ordinary. The kitchen-cum-dining has been maintained in good condition. The inmates on the teaching and advice of Gandhiji were cooking simple vegetarian food irrespective of caste, religion, sex etc. This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest collection of HD imagery from South Asia.
