He has long, dark, swept-back hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and his eyes are closed. He holds a silver trident upright in his right hand and rests his left hand in his lap. Behind him is a sandstone ghat with arched balconies and steps, a blue-and-red wooden boat on the water, and a signboard reading Dashashwamedh Ghat.
