He wears a cream-coloured turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, a heavily embroidered gold-and-cream sherwani with a jewelled ceremonial pendant, and cream dhoti trousers. A long pink petal garland hangs around his neck, and he smiles with both hands raised in greeting. Behind him is a painted orange-and-yellow sunset backdrop, and a few reddish fruits sit on a ledge at the side.
