A man seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with marigold and multicolored flower garlands, raising both open palms in a blessing gesture. He wears a saffron-yellow turban, a white dhoti-style garment with a white shawl, and multiple layered gold necklaces. A large ceremonial umbrella hangs above the throne. Behind him a red banner reads Dasara and Kannada text, with a golden deity murti and flower offerings on the right. The person is an appearance-based probable Swamiji: the saffron turban, layered gold necklaces and throne cues match the page's claim, but the face is not used for identification.
