A man seated on an ornate gold-trimmed throne draped with a horseshoe-shaped arch of marigold and mixed flower garlands in yellow, red, purple and pink. He wears a cream-coloured turban, a white dhoti-style garment with a white shawl, multiple long gold and beaded necklaces, and gold armlets, and is smiling with hands resting in his lap. Behind him a red banner shows Kannada script and the word Dasara, and on the right a large golden deity murti is partly visible. Swamiji (probable): the cues are the saffron-free turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and throne seating in a festival setting, so this is an appearance-based label only.
