A man sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow, orange, and purple flower garlands, smiling and resting his hands in his lap. He wears an orange saffron robe, an orange turban, a large beaded rudraksha-style necklace of gold and amber beads, and a gold armlet; his feet are bare. Gold staffs with trident finials flank the throne. Behind him is a red banner with a large portrait of a smiling man in orange, Kannada-script text, and a decorative pattern. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a saffron robe, orange turban, beaded necklace and ceremonial gold ornaments on a throne, matching his role as the honoured speaker at this Dasara event.
