A man seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, red and purple flowers, under a gold canopy. He wears a saffron-coloured turban, a white dhoti and shawl, several layered gold and beaded necklaces, and a gold pendant, with his hands folded in greeting and a smile. 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). On the right, a deity murti is adorned with red and white flowers. Swamiji (probable): the person has long swept-back hair, a saffron turban, ornate gold necklaces and white ritual clothing, consistent with the page's attribution to the event.
