Photograph of a food distribution at a roadside in a village, with volunteers serving from a green and yellow painted vehicle parked under a large banyan tree. Two women in a turquoise sari and a yellow sari stand at the truck's rear, one holding a steel bowl, while a man in white dhoti and shirt wearing a white head cover serves food from a steel vessel. A younger woman in a head cover stands nearby. Villagers gather in front: a young man in a grey and white t-shirt, a woman with a long braid in a yellow top, and another woman in a pink top. A stack of red bricks and a blue tarpaulin are on the left. Printed text on the truck reads ANNADAAN in green lettering.
