A seated man in a green kurta-style outfit with green trousers and a multicoloured orange, red and green turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with garlands of yellow, purple and red flowers. He wears a long gold necklace and holds his hands together in his lap, eyes lowered, with bare feet resting on a red cushioned footstool. A second gold throne with a carved deity form stands to the left, also garlanded. Behind the stage a large banner shows part of a smiling face and the word Dasara in red lettering on orange. The man has long hair falling to his shoulders and several distinctive ceremonial cues, so he is a person seated on the throne.
