A photo of a relief or service camp under a colourful striped tent with painted pillars in orange, green and blue with floral motifs. Four people sit around a grey metal table on orange-brown plastic chairs: two men in white shirts with their backs to the camera on the right, and a man in a white shirt on the left. In the centre, a man in orange monastic robes with a rudraksha mala and a shaved head gestures while talking, beside another orange-robed man. Sacks, boxes, a plastic drum and a loudspeaker sit in the background, and a standing worker wears an orange shirt with a lanyard. The clothing and seating suggest a discussion among organisers, with no visible deity or ritual.
