A photograph of a crowd gathered in a narrow courtyard lane outside a building with painted walls and hanging banners. At the centre, a man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long hair, a large orange-beaded necklace and a long red-and-white flower garland, walks forward with bare feet. Around him are men in white shirts and white dhotis, several with orange shawls, and a woman in a white sari near the right edge. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers at right gestures toward the group. Behind them are colourful posters with figures in saffron turbans and a green banner. Visible cues are consistent with the a person candidate's presentation, so the figure is identified as a person leading the procession. Around 30 people are visible.
