Several small trucks parked on a dirt ground beneath coconut palms at a relief site. The foreground truck is yellow and white with a windshield sign reading V.K. Kaviyarasan, and it has green stake sides. Next to it, a white-and-yellow truck with a blue cargo bed shows a windshield sign reading R.A.P. Behind them are a corrugated roof shelter, a blue truck and a partly visible yellow vehicle. A few people in white clothing stand near the vehicles, and a white plastic bag hangs from a shrub at right. Saffron flags flutter on poles in the background, and the sky is overcast.
