A man in a saffron turban, white dhoti and shawl, wearing a gold multi-strand necklace, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a gold-framed peetha, garlanded with yellow and orange marigolds and purple flowers, while raising both palms in a welcoming gesture. Behind him hangs a red banner with Dasara lettering and Kannada script, and a painted figure of a deity on the right. A gold umbrella tops the throne. Ritual dress and throne are visible, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to establish identity.

Behind him a red banner reads Dasara and Celebrating the Divine Mother in English, and Kannada script reads jagannmateya aradhane (worship of the world mother).
