He wears a rust-orange shawl draped over one shoulder, a broad rudraksha belt, multiple strands of silver skull-shaped beads and rudraksha malas, a gold necklace with a bell pendant, and beaded bracelets. He has a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead. Behind him stands a figure in white dhoti and shawl holding a golden staff, and a red canopy with green tassels overhead. Another man in orange robes and eyeglasses stands at the right edge, and an older man in white appears in the background.
