Night-time relief distribution at a crowded roadside. A young man in a green striped polo shirt raises a steel pot of cooked food high with both hands, steam rising from it, while others reach toward him with steel bowls. Behind them, two men in white dhotis and shirts work at a blue vehicle or stall with steel vessels, one holding a red cloth. Women in saris and flowers in their hair, one in an orange blouse and one in red, stand in the foreground. Palm fronds and dark trees fill the background.
