Night-time photo of a crowd of villagers pressing forward to receive food at a relief distribution. Many people hold out steel vessels, bowls and plates toward a figure in a saffron-orange robe standing at the right, near a blue-and-white railing. A man in a white shirt on the left raises an open hand, and a man in a grey shirt reaches over the rail. A lone bright lamp glows at the far right edge under a dark sky. The scene resembles a food-distribution moment, and the saffron-robed figure is a person by his orange robe and shaved head, though the face is too distant and small to confirm.
