A seated man in white ceremonial dress sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and yellow-and-red marigold garlands, wearing a saffron-tan turban, a heavy gold necklace and a gold armlet. A gold chair-like seat stands to his right, and on the left a gold lion-form vahana supports a palanquin-style frame holding a decorated deity murti dressed in red with a silver crown and garlands. Gold tassel umbrellas hang above the thrones. Appearance cues in the seated figure's long hair, turban and gold ornaments are consistent with a person, seated as the honoured guest of the Dasara celebration. The seated figure appears to be the only physical person clearly visible, with a second partially visible person at the left edge.
