Outdoor relief camp under palm trees with a crowd of men in white dhotis and shirts gathered around a seated figure in orange saffron robes with a dark hair bun, rudraksha mala and gold-edged orange cloth. A man in white shirt and dhoti on the left claps with hands together, while another man reaches forward toward the seated figure. A white truck with an orange banner printed with a figure stands behind, and a table with a yellow cloth and a metal tray sits at right. The seated figure has a person appearance (dark hair bun, orange robes, rudraksha mala) but the appearance is uncertain given the crowd setting; described here by role as a seated person in saffron robes.
