Night-time relief distribution at a green truck bed with an orange banner reading "Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam" and "Thane Cyclone Relief Works" in English and Tamil. The banner shows a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" of a smiling man with an orange turban and orange robes, printed rather than present. Several villagers queue on the left, including a barefoot boy holding a cup, women in saris and a girl in a green dress, some holding metal pots. A man in a checked shirt stands on the truck and a young volunteer in a white cap and yellow-trimmed shirt hands items down from the truck bed. Dark trees and utility poles form the background.
