On the left, men in white shirts and white head coverings stand at the back of a blue truck, one holding a folded orange cloth. Villagers queue in front of the truck: a woman in a green blouse and pink-and-white sari holds a steel vessel, a woman in a red sari, an older woman with white hair in a pink-striped sari, and a woman in a bright green top reaches out holding a steel bowl. Several children, including a girl in red and a boy in a brown shirt, crowd in the line. No person in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person.
