He wears a cream turban, a multi-strand gold necklace and bare feet. Flanking him are a second gold throne with a garland-draped seat and a gilded lion-like guardian figure, a golden peetha with a fringed yellow parasol, and a deity murti with a trident-like staff under a garland. A fan stands at the side of the stage. The clothing and setting suggest a formal ceremonial seat rather than a sannyasi's ordinary attire. a person is seated on the throne, identified by his turban and gold necklace.

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 copies
