A photograph of a crowded food distribution beside a blue and white truck under coconut palm fronds. Many villagers, mostly men, women and children, reach upward with steel plates, bowls and pots to receive food. Several boys stand on the truck's side rails. A woman in an orange sari and an older woman in a white sari are among those reaching for food. The scene reads as an annadanam relief distribution.
