He wears saffron-orange robes and a long black rudraksha mala. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits beside him, and marigold petals are scattered on a ring of gravel and painted green leaf designs. Behind him stand black stone deity murti and a black stone serpent-hooded pillar, palm trees, and a red-and-yellow banner. A tall wooden post with curved metal hooks rises above him.
