Four saffron-robed men sit on ornate gold-and-red thrones behind a draped table garlanded with white jasmine and orange marigold strings, with water bottles and name placards in front. The far left man wears an orange turban and rudraksha mala and smiles; the second man has long swept-back grey hair and a yellow-and-orange garland; the third is bald in orange robes; the far right man wears an orange turban and rudraksha beads. Behind them a large orange banner shows Kannada text, a bird logo and a row of framed portrait photographs of older men. The visible cues do not establish which seated man is a person, so no identification is made.
