A photograph of relief work in a coastal village with palm trees and a grey sky. A young man in a white dhoti and a white cloth draped over his shoulder, with a rudraksha-style bead mala, stands at the rear of a blue-slatted truck bed, bending over a large aluminium pot filled with silver foil-wrapped food packets. Beside him a worker in a maroon-patterned lungi and white shirt, wearing a green hairnet, reaches into the pot. Several men in white shirts and white hairnets crowd around the pot, while a row of tall palms and a small motorbike sit in the background. Orange flags and an orange-and-white cloth decorate the truck.
