A dense crowd of devotees fills a street at a festival, mostly women in saffron-orange shawls and sashes and colourful saris in pink, green, blue and orange. Several men in white or light shirts stand among them, and a bare-chested man with a shaved head is at left. Saffron and orange flags and banners hang overhead, and some people hold up mobile phones. Yellow and green safety-vested volunteers stand at the lower left and edge of the crowd. The page does not establish a person's presence, and no candidate is clearly identifiable here, so no one is labelled as him.
