He wears long rudraksha malas around his neck and across his chest, a white sacred-thread style cord, and a red bindi with white vibhuti marks on his forehead. He holds a headset microphone near his face, a phone-like device raised to one ear, and a long beaded mala hangs from his hand. Marigold and white flowers lie on the gold platform at his feet, and a green hillside backdrop is visible behind the throne.

He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his left shoulder, trimmed with gold border, and a long mala of rudraksha beads alternating with gold beads.
