Outdoor street protest on a dirt road lined with palm trees. A young man in a yellow t-shirt with a bird graphic raises his right hand and gestures while speaking. Around him, a crowd of young men and boys holds handmade placards: yellow-bordered signs reading "WORSHIP SAINTS, DONT ABUSE THEM", "HINDUS SUPPORT NITHYANANDA" and "BRAHMINS DENOUNCE AARTHI RAO", pink-bordered signs reading "AARTHI FALSE CASE FALLS APART", and a large white sign reading "KARNATAKA ... WITHDRAW ... AGAINST NI...". A Kannada-script sign is held by a man in white. No a person candidate is visible.
