A photograph of a Dasara celebration on a stage with an orange-red backdrop showing a large portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban with a red bindi, and Kannada and English lettering reading Dasara. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy wears an orange-saffron dhoti and cloth, an orange turban, and an orange rudraksha-style bead necklace, with flower garlands draped over the throne; a woman in a white sari with a red-patterned border stands at the right holding a tray. Around the throne, several people in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a blue sari, and a woman in white stand attending. Brass plates or bowls with offerings sit in the foreground, and a gold-handled staff is held beside the throne.
