He wears an orange shawl draped over an orange top, a dark brown turtleneck beneath, and a long necklace of brown rudraksha beads reaching to his waist. He has short-swept dark hair, a red bindi or tilak on his forehead, and looks to his side with a faint smile. The Sanskrit inscription on the wall lists Shiva names ending in namah shivaya.
