He raises one arm holding a long iron trident-like staff, wears orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a red bindi-style mark on his forehead, and has layered orange and silver-bead rudraksha-style necklaces. The rough bamboo poles and tarpaulin suggest an outdoor ascetic camp at a mela.
