He is shown in profile facing left, bare-chested, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and a matching orange shawl draped over his shoulder with a white flower garland. He has short dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha-style red bead necklace, and a bangle on his wrist. He holds a brass multi-branched oil lamp (aarti lamp) aloft in his right arm, with several flames burning, and a small brass bell in his left hand. Trees and a colourful striped cloth are faintly visible at the lower edge of the frame.
