A seated man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a multicoloured turban and a rudraksha mala with gold beads, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne (peetha) draped with yellow, orange and red marigold garlands. A golden umbrella with yellow fringe hangs above him. Behind the throne a red banner reads Dasara and a Kannada line meaning worship of the universal mother, and to the right a large golden deity murti of a goddess with a crown, jewelled necklaces and garlands stands. A water bottle sits on a small side table at left. Swamiji (probable): long-haired figure in turban and rudraksha mala, seated on throne in saffron, consistent with the page; appearance-based label only.
