A seated man in an ornate gold throne with carved golden armrests and a gold canopy sits centrally before a bright orange backdrop. He wears an orange saffron robe, an orange turban, and a long multi-strand gold-beaded necklace, with hands pressed together in greeting. The throne is draped with garlands of yellow, white, and purple flowers. Gold ceremonial staffs with leaf-shaped finials flank him, and flower arrangements sit at the base. To the right, a large sculpted deity murti is decorated with garlands. The backdrop bears Kannada script and the word Dasara. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair beneath an orange turban, saffron robe, and ornate gold necklace, seated on a throne as the honoured figure of the event.
