A standing man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl and a dark rudraksha mala. He walks across a hall past a row of seated men in white dhotis and shirts, many wearing white blindfold bands over their eyes. Behind him a red banner reads Dasara with Kannada script and shows a deity image garlanded with flowers, and an orange lamp shade hangs overhead. Seated participants sit on chairs holding yellow bags and ID lanyards. The setting appears to be a Dasara program.
