A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with yellow and multicolour garland strands. He wears white ritual dhoti and a white shawl draped over one shoulder, a cream turban, and a long gold necklace with a gold armlet; his bare feet rest on a red-cushioned gold footstool. Behind him stands a large backdrop of a golden deity murti adorned with red and gold flower garlands, ornate jewellery and a crown, beside a red-orange banner with Kannada script. To the right, a garlanded figure of a goddess holding a veena sits on a gold stand next to a gold peacock sculpture. An orange parasol hangs overhead. The man appears to be a person candidate by saffron-free but ornate cues: turban, gold necklace and armlet on a throne; appearance uncertain.
