He has long matted dark hair falling down his back, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, a dark beard, and small gold earrings. He wears ornate gold necklaces, multiple rings and gold bangles, and a rust-brown silk garment with gold border. Beside him stands a silver trident and a silver throne decorated with red and yellow marigold garlands. A deep maroon curtain forms the background.
