He wears a dark topknot with a small silver ornament, a white forehead band with a central dark mark, and a dark-red rudraksha-style beaded belt over a leopard-print cloth. Layered gold chains and beaded necklaces hang on his chest, with gold bangles and rudraksha bracelets on his arms and ankle. Behind him, a blurred painted or projected image in orange and blue suggests a multi-armed deity figure.
