A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, raising one hand in blessing, before a red-and-orange backdrop. Several people sit on the orange floor cloth in front of him: a woman in a white sari with a gold-bordered shawl, young girls in white, yellow and red clothing with hands joined in prayer, a seated person in white with his back to the camera, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl. A large gold ceremonial deity murti with a crown and garlands is at right, and a flower-garlanded peetha or throne stands at left. Brass and silver puja vessels and orange cloth sit on the floor. The backdrop shows a smiling man in an orange turban beside the word Dasara in Kannada and English. The seated central figure has long swept-back hair and a saffron robe, a distinctive presentation matching the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
