A photograph inside a decorated hall at a Dasara celebration, with a large golden throne under a golden parasol at right, draped with yellow and orange marigold garlands. A man in a saffron-orange robe with an orange turban and garlands raises his right hand in blessing before the throne. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and shawl with maroon border stands barefoot on an orange carpet, with brass plates of offerings, fruit and flowers spread on a golden tray on the floor at left. A third figure in orange robes stands in the background near a doorway. The backdrop reads Dasara in red and white lettering with Kannada script. The person raising the hand has a saffron turban, rudraksha-style garlands and orange robes, and this presentation is consistent with the page's a person reference, though his face is not visible enough to confirm identity.
