A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne on a stage, draped with garlands of yellow marigolds and purple and red flowers. He wears a white cloth turban, a white dhoti-style garment, a gold necklace and gold armband, and is seated with his hands resting in his lap. Behind him a large orange backdrop shows a painted goddess face with a crown and kumkum-marked forehead, and Kannada script reading 'aradhane' appears at the top. A golden peetha-style throne flanks him on both sides, with a golden lion or simha figure at right and a garlanded deity figure at left. A gold parasol with fringed edges stands above the throne, and a standing fan sits nearby on the stage.

He wears layered gold necklaces, a gold bangle and a red tilak on his forehead. A gold-fringed yellow parasol with red trim hangs above the throne. Behind him a red banner shows Kannada script and the word Dasara, and a gold footstool rests on a patterned rug. The figure appears to be a person on a throne rather than a statue. He is the only physical person visible, and his appearance matches the a person candidate cues of a turban, layered gold ornaments and ceremonial white clothing, though that identification is uncertain.2010-10-16 +1 copiesA man in white ceremonial dress sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, draped in flower garlands in yellow, red and purple.

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.2010-10-16October 16 20102010-10-16 +1 copies
