Outdoor photo of a seated figure seen from behind, wearing an orange sleeveless top, an orange wrap over the shoulders, and a hair bun, sitting on an orange cushion on a mat in front of a raised platform. The platform holds a row of decorated deity murtis with white circular halos and a central multi-armed goddess figure with a sword, set before a red-and-white painted temple facade. A brass kalasha or lamp stands on a grey ash-and-pebble circle at the front-right, and a red velvet chair stands to the right. A red and orange banner reads Dasara with Kannada and English lines. Several women in white sarees sit on the ground to the right in the background.
