Night-time photograph of a food distribution at a roadside. A yellow truck with the lettering 'SOUND HORN' on its side has its tailgate open, and a young man in a white shirt and blue striped track pants is handing out food from the truck bed. A middle-aged man in a white shirt and checked lungi holds a steel plate of yellow rice with a red garnish, while a woman in a blue floral sari, her head covered, holds an empty steel plate. A bicycle is parked at left beside a flowering oleander bush. On the right edge, a man in a white dhoti with a sacred thread and a bead necklace stands in the truck bed, partly visible. The scene reads as an annadan relief distribution.
