Relief work in a cyclone-hit village: a green and yellow pickup truck with a lotus painted on its tailgate and a small orange flag on a pole is loaded with sacks. Three volunteers in hairnets stand on and beside its bed handling sacks, and a woman in a dark green sari holds a metal pot near the tailgate. Palm trees, thatched huts with collapsed roofs, and a blue tarpaulin shelter surround the dirt road. A parked scooter is at the right edge.
