A night-time photograph of cyclone relief distribution. A yellow truck with a metal cage and striped side panels is parked under a metal frame arch. Two men in green caps and light shirts stand in the truck bed handling sacks and packages, while a group of women and children in saris and salwars gather below to receive items. In the foreground an older woman in a blue patterned top stands at left, and a man in an orange shirt and checked lungi stands at right. There are no visible ritual objects or appearances of a swami in this scene, so no candidate is present.
