A photograph of an outdoor relief camp in a palm-lined village setting. Under tarpaulin-covered tents and striped canopies, workers in white shirts and white head caps prepare food and handle sacks of rice, while stacks of green coconuts, tomatoes and vegetables sit on tables. Several orange gas cylinders lie on the dirt road. A green and orange three-wheeled vehicle with a windshield placard reading 'Maheswari' carries a framed portrait of a smiling figure in orange robes and turban on its dashboard. A banner with portraits hangs on the right. Pedestrians walk along the dusty road, one holding a phone to his ear.
