A seated saint in saffron-orange robes sits on a wooden throne under a white flower canopy, hands folded in his lap, wearing a silver crown and an orange-red bead garland. A tall yellow marigold arch frames the scene on the right. Standing around him are men in orange, a man in an olive-green shirt, and men in white shirts; one man in a white shirt reaches up to the arch and another holds a phone at the lower left. Behind them a painted banner shows figures in a colourful mural and Kannada text. The seated figure's identity cannot be established from appearance, so no identification is made. A standing man in an orange turban and long orange robe with a gold necklace stands at the left; his cues are distinctive but the seated figure is not a clear match.
