He wears a leopard-print headband and has long dreadlocked hair with a red tilak on his forehead. Around him are polished silver and brass ritual vessels, a silver-decorated peetha, a brass deity murti of a standing figure, a silver kalasha-style pot, and flower-garlanded silver vahana figures and miniature shrines. Striped red-and-white pillars and a golden temple structure are visible in the background, with a brass oil lamp and a coconut-shaped vessel in the foreground.
