Sea of saffron as India's Modi visits Hindu holy city
May 2024 358 views 6 Min 13 SecCheering supporters waving saffron flags line the streets of one of India's holiest cities as Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives to rally votes from the Hindu faithful. India is in the middle of a six-week election widely expected to deliver Modi a third term, in large part due to his cultivated image as an aggressive champion of the country's majority faith.
