Photo taken through a vehicle window of a dusty street with a large orange-and-red hoarding displaying a Kannada-language banner and two portrait photographs of smiling men in orange clothing and orange head wraps. The portraits are printed on the hoarding, not physical people. An orange saffron flag flies from a pole beside it, and a tree stands behind. On the street a teal three-wheeled auto-rickshaw is parked, with a white truck and a few pedestrians nearby, and there is a two-storey building with balconies on the right. The printed portrait on the left appears to show a man in orange with a sash, but identity is uncertain from appearance.
