A few hold placards with portraits and slogans, and at the left edge a brass ceremonial instrument or ornament is visible. A large red placard in the centre shows a portrait of a bearded sannyasi in orange and reads a slogan about character assassination. Crowd density is high and the marchers fill the frame.
