A photograph of a relief-work site under a striped tent awning, with large metal pots of food and cooking equipment on the left and a yellow truck behind. A man in a saffron-orange turban, saffron-orange robe and sandals stands in the centre-right, appearing to hold a long broom, with another man in a saffron-orange dhoti and bare feet beside him. A man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands at right beside steel vessels and a dish of utensils. Several men in white dhotis and shawls and a few in orange stand around the tent. The man in orange with turban and robe has a distinctive appearance, but he is not visually confirmable beyond the attire, so this is a plain description of visible people in ordinary relief-camp activity.
