He wears a red-and-gold headband, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, a gold pendant and bracelet, and a red tilak on his forehead. He smiles toward a bald young boy in a maroon-and-gold shawl, who sits close in front of him with hands extended.

A red and gold cloth lies on the left side of the throne, and a small red box sits near the boy.
