Photo of a darbar-style stage at a Dasara event. A man in white dhoti and shawl with a cream turban, gold necklaces and gold bangle stands on a gilded throne with red cushion and marigold garlands, reaching out to receive an object from a man in a brown kurta and white dhoti. A man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala stands at left. Behind them, a large painted goddess face with a crown and a red-and-orange backdrop with Kannada text. A woman in a pink sari and another in a pink dupatta stand at right. Swamiji (probable) is the man on the throne, identified by the cream turban, ornate gold necklaces, and white ceremonial dress on a throne.
