A long line of villagers, mostly women and children, stand holding steel pots, bowls and containers while a young woman in a white top and orange-red skirt, and an older woman in a dark green sari with a red-patterned border, serve food. Other women wear red, yellow and grey saris and bangles. Behind them stand a thatched shelter, green shrubs and a wooden railway barrier. No identifiable a person is visible, and the scene shows annadan-style food relief.
