Outdoor photo at dusk of a crowd pressing forward to receive food at an annadaan distribution. Many raised arms hold steel plates and bowls, and a few hold up phones. A woman in a light green head wrap and an orange-and-white garment stands on a vehicle at the centre, with a red and orange flag behind her. Palm trees and a street lamp stand against a pale sky. Only the back of a figure in the foreground is distinct; several people are partially visible in silhouette.
