A photograph of a stage event beneath a large orange backdrop with the word Dasara in English and Kannada script. A man in white dhoti and shawl, wearing an orange-and-white turban, sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with marigold garlands, flanked by gold lion and bird sculptures. Two gold-framed garlanded deity murti stand on pedestals on either side, one showing a goddess with red garments and a trident-like weapon. A video camera on a tripod and a cameraman in white stand at the left edge, and seated devotees fill the lower foreground. Orange parasols hang above the throne. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the throne is not treated as a clear cue.
