He wears a gold necklace and a gold bangle and reaches toward a white bowl and small brass vessels on a stone ledge. Behind him stands a golden deity murti of an animal form, draped in colourful garlands and jewelled ornaments, beside brass oil lamps, a lit flame and a vase of yellow and orange flowers. A microphone stands at his left, and a red and white striped wall frames the scene. The image is dominated by warm orange and gold tones.
