Several people stand on the truck bed in teal head-cloths and orange clothes. In the foreground a woman in an orange patterned sari holds a steel bowl, and a man in a white checked shirt and white dhoti reaches toward the truck, while others hold steel vessels. A man in a checked shirt watches at right. Dry palms and thatched huts appear at left.
