Night-time photograph of a relief camp under a corrugated tin roof and a striped tent canopy. In the foreground a man in an orange dhoti, white shirt and orange shawl kneels on a large white plastic sheet, leaning forward with his hands on it, while another man in tan trousers lies on the sheet beside him. Behind them a bald man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands by a dark Land Rover-style vehicle. Several men in white clothes and green caps move about among cooking pots and metal vessels under bright fluorescent tubes, with a tree branch at the right edge. The scene suggests an annadaan food and yoga camp set up in a village.
