A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair and a beard sits with palms pressed together at his forehead, eyes closed, in a devotional pose. He wears a long yellow marigold garland with a pink rose, rudraksha malas on his wrists and a gold bracelet, and a gold earring; a white-and-black vibhuti/tilak marks his brow. Behind him is an ornate silver-and-jewelled backdrop with red and green stones, and beneath him a tiger-striped orange cloth. A white curtain and red draping frame the left side. Appearance cues are consistent with a person in the seated position, with distinctive ceremonial garland, malas and jewelled throne backdrop, shown in a festival setting.
