A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with a garland of yellow, orange, purple and red flowers, with a gold footstool beneath. He wears a cream-coloured turban, a white shawl draped over the shoulder, white dhoti-style garments, and layered gold necklaces with a gold pendant, plus a gold armlet. His bare feet rest on the footstool. A large yellow fringed parasol (chhatra) stands above the throne. Behind him is an orange banner with Kannada script and a golden deity murti at the right edge. The setting is a Dasara celebration hall with a polished floor and patterned rug. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's claim that a person is present, though the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role and marked unsure.
