He wears a maroon-red ochre dhoti and shawl, a pink and white flower garland, gold necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a white vibhuti tripundra on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap and his bare feet rest on a tiger-striped footstool atop a silver pedestal. A brass bowl sits in the foreground, and the photo is taken at night. The figure's appearance fits the a person cues of a saffron-maroon robe, rudraksha-style gold adornments, and a throne setting, so he is presented as a seated ceremonial figure.2017-09-28September 23 20122012-09-23
