A photograph of a dense street crowd moving in a procession under a large multicolored parasol with tassels and painted tree motifs. At the centre, a bearded, bald man with a red tilak wears a saffron robe and walks among several other saffron-robed sannyasis, one of them bald and another with a shaved head. Many men in white shirts and dark trousers press around them, and one raises a clenched fist at right. Multi-storey buildings, Vodafone signs and a flagpole fill the background. The bearded central figure has a presentation consistent with the page's a person reference, though the appearance is only partly distinctive, so the identity remains uncertain.
