A street protest crowd, mostly women in saris and salwar with a few men, many holding handmade placards in Kannada. A large effigy of a woman is carried overhead, its head wrapped in white cloth and its body draped in a lime-green shawl over a red-and-gold garment. Below it hangs a printed portrait of a smiling young woman with Kannada lettering. Other placards show printed portraits and yellow signs. A small child in a light green shirt and grey shorts stands in front, looking up. Orange and yellow decorative flowers line the background.
