Pink flower petals are scattered around the body and a dark orange cloth lies beneath. Behind the figure are wide marble steps with a gold-trimmed edge. Only the back and feet are visible; the face is not shown.

Garlands of white jasmine and orange-yellow flowers lie near his head, and a rudraksha mala is visible on his wrist. Beside a dark stone plinth, a few other people in saffron and orange robes and white-and-gold dhotis stand around, their bare feet visible.
