Outdoor relief distribution in a village: a green-and-yellow tricycle cart with a blue-panelled rear, a woman in a brown blouse and white patterned sari leaning over the tailgate to serve food from a metal pot into a container. A man in a light-blue checked shirt and checked lungi stands gesturing in front, a young boy in a light-blue shirt reaches toward the cart, and a man in a peach shirt and checked lungi, plus a woman in a polka-dot top, wear white hair nets while serving. Green Tamil lettering is painted on the cart's upper bar and a palm tree and a red flag appear in the background.
