He has long, dark, swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a red and gold striped garment draped over his shoulders and wrapped around his body. He wears a rudraksha mala necklace, beaded bangles and an armlet. A yellow and red flower garland hangs on the left edge, and a stone platform with steps lies behind him.
