A man with long dark hair and a beard sits with eyes closed and a gentle smile, against a backdrop of densely packed red, yellow, white and purple flower garlands. He wears a maroon-red draped garment edged with gold embroidery, a gold chain with a pendant, and a white and red forehead mark. Bare-chested in the drape style, his hands rest in a meditative gesture on his lap.
