A seated man in white dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, framed by a garland of yellow, green, red and purple flowers. He wears a tan turban, a heavy gold necklace, gold armlet, and his feet are bare. A gold stand with carved panels flanks the throne. Behind him is an orange banner with Kannada script and English 'Dasara' lettering, and a painted or printed image of a seated deity with a crown and red-orange tones. The person's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, showing a turban, gold necklace and white ceremonial clothing, but the cues are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity, so the status is marked unsure.
