A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, purple and white flowers, with a gold umbrella above. He wears a multicoloured orange, yellow and green turban, a bright green dhoti-style garment draped over a bare upper body, and a long gold necklace; his hands are joined in his lap and his feet are bare on a red-cushioned footstool. Behind him a large orange banner shows the words Dasara and 'Celebrating the Mother' with a bronze deity murti and red and yellow flower garlands at right. Appearance-based cues here (ornate throne, gold necklace, colourful turban) are suggestive but not sufficient, so identity is uncertain.
