A large procession of men in white dhotis and shirts, many wearing saffron/orange shawls over their shoulders, walks down a road in daylight. Several carry tall poles with saffron flags and square embroidered banners bearing a blue and white emblem, and a few hold ornate umbrella-style canopies with fringed, multicoloured tops. A yellow TATA truck with a loudspeaker stands behind them, and trees line the roadside. Some participants wear identification lanyards and rudraksha-style beads. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is named.
