He wears a saffron-orange turban, a white draped garment, multiple gold and beaded necklaces with a gold pendant, and gold armbands; his hands rest in his lap and his feet are bare on a red cushioned footstool. Behind him a red backdrop shows printed Kannada script, a large word reading Dasara, and the partial words Divine Mother. Gold-carved side panels flank the throne. The appearance-based label Swamiji (probable) applies: a seated presiding figure with a saffron turban, layered ceremonial necklaces and a white garment on a throne at a Dasara event.

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.2010-10-16 +1 copiesA man seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with red cushions, its arch and armrests draped in marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. He wears a saffron-yellow turban, a white dhoti-style garment draped over one shoulder, gold-toned layered necklaces and bare feet resting on a gold footstool with a red cushion. A large Kannada-and-English banner in red and orange behind him reads Dasara, and a gilded figure of a deity murti appears at the right edge. Per the page, this is Swamiji in a Dasara celebration setting, though the appearance cues here are a yellow turban, white garments and gold necklaces, which are consistent with the page's claim; the identification is probable only from these cues.2010-10-16 +6 copiesOctober 16 20102010-10-16 +1 copies
