A white minivan with a Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara label on its windscreen is stuck axle-deep in thick brown mud on a flooded rural road. Around ten men in white dhotis, striped shirts and loose shirts push against its sides and rear, with some hands on the door frame and windows. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at the right edge gesturing. Green fields and trees lie behind, under a hazy sky. This is a photograph of flood relief effort in Sindhanur, Karnataka.

Most are barefoot and wear white shirts or blouses with checked or plaid lungis and sarongs in green, blue and pink tones; one elderly man at left is bare-chested with a white cloth over his shoulder, and one figure at right wears a green head wrap. The van has a purple band reading SRI LAKSHMI on its side and its doors are open. Standing water and mud cover the ground, and a fence post and low vegetation are visible behind. No a person candidate is visible.September 2006 - Sindhanur flood reliefOutdoor scene at a flood relief site in Sindhanur, Karnataka: a white minibus with a windshield sticker of a saffron-robed figure stands on dusty ground beside a parked red motorcycle. Several men in white shirts and dark trousers crowd around the open door of the van, and a man in a light blue striped shirt and red cap sits on the motorcycle smiling. A tarpaulin shelter and a parked truck appear in the background under a pale sky. The minibus has a sign reading Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara on its windshield. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person.September 2006 - Sindhanur flood relief
