A crowd of villagers presses around a relief distribution at night. In the foreground, a bald monk in orange robes stands beside a woman with long curly hair in an orange top, who hands over a folded blue and green cloth. A man in a white shirt with a badge takes the cloth while women in saris, including one in purple, press their palms together. Many boys and men crowd behind, some holding mobile phones, and a yellow pole stands at right.
