A figure in full orange robes and long dark curly hair stands on a raised orange platform beneath a metal-roofed canopy, gripping an orange cord wrapped around a tall copper pillar. The pillar rests on an ornate carved bronze base with a sculpted panel and is draped with yellow marigold garlands and red flowers, with petals scattered on the platform. Behind the figure is a palm tree and a sign with Kannada text and a small framed portrait. At left, a partially visible crowd watches from below, and an orange banner reads Dasara in Kannada with the year 2010.
