He wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold-toned pendant necklace and a white and maroon flower garland, raising one hand in a blessing gesture. Behind and around him are bright yellow and red marigold garlands and several people in colourful clothing, and a watch is visible on a wrist at the lower right.
