A seated man in white ritual clothing sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, red and purple flowers. He wears a saffron-coloured turban, a white dhoti-style garment draped over his shoulder, and heavy gold necklaces with a central pendant. His hands are folded in his lap and his feet rest on a red footstool. Behind him, a red backdrop shows a deity murti with a crown and floral garlands, and an umbrella hangs above. The banner text reads Dasara and a Kannada phrase. Appearance-based label: a person on the throne, identified by the turban, gold necklaces and the throne setting; the appearance cues are moderate, so this is uncertain.
