He wears an orange-saffron robe draped over his shoulder and torso, a dark rudraksha mala necklace, and a small red tilak on his forehead; his eyes are closed and his hands rest on his knees. Behind him are two wheeled wooden carts with orange canopies, a low orange-painted stone platform to the left, and small green plants. Ash-grey and white powder rings the stone, and white kolam-style lines run across the ground.
