A crowd of men in saffron-orange robes gathers outdoors in front of a large white banner with handwritten writing in blue, red and purple ink. A bald man in front, wearing an orange shawl and holding a red marker, points at the banner while another saffron-robed man beside him writes or gestures on it. A bald monk with tilak on his forehead and an orange wrap stands to the left, and behind them a crowd of onlookers, some waving red-and-yellow flags, fills the street with buses in the background. The banner's visible upper text is in Kannada script. Appearance cues for a person candidate are limited to the shaved head and orange robes shared by many monastics here, so the identity is uncertain.
