A photograph of a stage event beside a golden ornate throne with a red cushion and red footstool. A man in a flowing red dhoti-style robe with a tan head wrap stands at the throne with palms pressed together in greeting, wearing gold bangles. Beside him a young man in an orange saffron robe with a red-striped shawl stands near a woman in a white sari, while a woman in a teal and pink sari with a white flower-decorated hair ornament bows low to the floor. Behind them a large backdrop shows a gilded deity murti with red and yellow flower garlands and a Kannada-script banner above. The man in red has distinctive long swept-back hair and gold adornments, but the appearance is uncertain for identifying a person, so the figure is described by role only.
