A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne with a saffron-yellow fringed parasol above it, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Garlands of yellow and purple flowers drape the throne. Beside him stands a golden ceremonial vehicle with a bird figure and a small deity murti decorated with garlands. Behind the stage, a large orange backdrop shows a painted portrait of a figure in an orange turban, a painted deity figure at right adorned with jewellery, and the word Dasara in English and Kannada, with the phrase Celebrate the Mother beneath. The image is a photo of a stage event with no visible audience.
