A large outdoor crowd of mostly men marches along a tree-lined road under bright daylight. Many wear saffron-orange robes and orange turbans or headwraps, while others wear white shirts, khaki uniforms and wide-brimmed hats. Several people raise fists and hands. Umbrellas in orange, red and multicolour rise above the crowd. A white banner with Kannada script is held aloft, and uniformed police with helmets stand at the left edge. Several saffron-clad men with beards and shaved heads stand prominently in the front ranks.
