A street protest photograph under a concrete overpass in daylight. A large yellow banner held by several people reads in Kannada and red letters, with a portrait of a smiling figure in an orange-red turban and orange robes at its right. Next to it stands a black-and-white printed poster of a young woman with the Kannada words for cheat, sexual harasser and bribery-type accusations. Behind them a decorated shrine-like structure is hung with orange and marigold garlands, and a small banner reads Nithyananda Paramashivam Price of Hinduism. People in orange and teal clothing stand along the banner, including an older woman in an orange-and-brown sari and a man in an orange shirt at right. A grassy strip and green shrubs fill the foreground.
