A photo of a ceremony on a stage with an orange backdrop featuring a large painted deity face and Kannada-script banner text. A figure in a green draped garment with an orange and pink turban sits on a gold-ornate throne decorated with yellow, white and purple garlands, smiling as he receives a white book from a man in a maroon kurta and glasses. A bespectacled older man in cream clothes stands at right beside the throne, and a partly visible orange-clad person is behind the exchange. The throne-seated figure has distinctive turban and ornate ceremonial presentation cues, but appearance alone is not conclusive, so identity is unsure. Umbrella canopy above the throne.
