He wears a sky-blue sleeveless top and a matching blue draped cloth over his lap and shoulder, with multi-strand rudraksha malas and a white pearl necklace, rudraksha armbands and wrist beads, and a red bindi with white tilak on the forehead. His hands rest clasped in his lap. A microphone is clipped to the armrest, and the blurred heads of two women in the foreground face him.
