He wears a rust-orange robe with a gold-striped waist cloth, a red-orange beaded mala with gold ornaments, gold armbands and bangles, and a red bindi with white vibhuti marks on his forehead. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture while looking upward. The throne is draped with an orange and black tiger-striped cloth.
