He wears an orange-saffron robe, long rudraksha-style beaded mala and ornate gold necklaces, gold bangles, a white-and-red forehead marking and a dark beard; a Yamaha keyboard and microphone sit at his side. In front of him, a priest with bare chest, white dhoti, yellow head cloth and red-thread sacred cord bends forward holding a white-and-silver vessel, apparently pouring during an abhishekam ritual.
