A bare-chested man with a rust-brown turban adorned with a jewelled gold brooch stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed in prayer. He wears heavy gold ceremonial necklaces layered over pink lotus and white flower garlands, plus rudraksha bead bracelets on his wrists. A red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him a red metal truss frame overhead and a partly visible colourful embroidered canopy fringe appear, with another person's shoulder at the left edge. The setting suggests an outdoor open-air pavilion.

He wears a deep maroon turban wrapped with gold-threaded borders and set with a gold crescent ornament and jewelled pins, plus a gold earring. Layered garlands of pink lotus flowers and white beaded strands hang on his shoulders, with heavy gold necklaces and gold bangles and rings. Wisps of incense smoke rise beside his hands against a dark green blurred background.
