A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gilded throne (peetha) draped with garlands of yellow marigolds and red and purple flowers. He wears a saffron-yellow turban, a white dhoti and an ornate gold necklace with multiple gold chains over bare skin, and his arms are folded across his chest. He sits with one foot resting on a gold footstool with a red cushion. Behind him is a red-orange banner reading Dasara and a Kannada phrase, with a large image of a deity murti, a gilded figure with a crown and jewelled adornments, and a decorated parasol overhead. Garlands hang on the side pillars and floral garlands lie on the floor.
