A seated man on an ornate gold throne (peetha) at a Dasara 2011 Navaratri Brahmotsavam event. He wears a red turban with a small red mark on the forehead, a red and orange shawl over his shoulders, white dhoti-style garments, and gold bangles. He sits barefoot on a red cushion, with marigold garlands draped over the throne's canopy and carved arms. A gold umbrella tops the throne. Flanking the throne are brass oil lamps (lamps) decorated with flower garlands. The backdrop shows a large red banner with a painted portrait of a smiling woman in yellow and red, a deity murti at the right, and red flowers.
