He wears a rust-red dhoti-style cloth with a gold border, draped over one shoulder, and a long garland of pink and white flowers with yellow marigolds and gold beads. A small red mark sits on his forehead and his hair is swept back. Behind him, people in white kurtas and rust-red shawls stand on a paved path among green foliage.
