Relief distribution on a roadside after a cyclone. Two men in white uniforms and head coverings stand on the flatbed of an orange-brown truck, ladling food from pots into bowls held by a line of villagers. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a red border, wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, stands at left directing the line. Women in colourful saris and a girl in a yellow frilled dress and a girl in orange with a flower garland hold bowls and a steel container. Bent palm trees and fallen branches line the road. A banner on the truck shows a portrait of a saffron-robed figure, and the scene is a relief meal under the windy sky.
