A street procession in an Indian city crowded with onlookers. Women in orange and saffron saris stand on a decorated vehicle draped with paper flowers and red and orange garlands, with white poles at its corners. Behind them, a large banner shows a portrait labelled "Shri Narayanda" with a golden frame, and a Sinhastha 2016 banner hangs overhead. Police officers in khaki uniforms walk alongside the vehicle, while crowds of men, women in green and red saris, and boys raise hands and phones. Some figures are partially visible at the edges. No identifiable candidate for a person is clearly present.
