He wears an orange dhoti, a leopard-print shawl, a long rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklaces, with white paste markings on his forehead and arms and a tripundra with a tilaka on his brow. Long hair falls to his shoulders. He holds a small black ritual object in his hands. Beside him stand a golden trident with an orange cloth and a black kalasha-style pot, against a draped gold and blue backdrop. The appearance matches the described presentation with several cues, so this is a person on stage.
