A photograph of a crowded outdoor procession. A smiling man in the centre wears a saffron-orange turban and matching saffron cloth, with a large orange and white marigold garland, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces with bead pendants. Behind him, a uniformed policeman in olive-green shirt and cap walks alongside, and a bald man in orange robes and a red-clothed man stand nearby. Many people with saffron flags and ceremonial poles crowd the background. Appearance-based candidate: a person, shown in the procession with a garland and turban, though his face is partly obscured by the crowd.
