He wears a bright orange-red turban with a silver jewelled brooch and a vertical vermilion mark on his forehead, a royal blue garment with orange and gold striped borders, and a long orange shawl draped over one shoulder. He has a double strand of silver and gold beads with a gold pendant, and a gold armlet set with red stones on his upper arm.
