He wears a red-maroon turban, a tilak on his forehead, ornate gold and ruby necklaces, a rudraksha mala, a white flower garland and a saffron-red garment, and holds a gold trident topped with an orange rose in one hand while the other hand is open. In front stands a brass-rimmed silver tray holding flowers, silver containers and a plate, on a gold-patterned cloth. A wooden elephant figurine sits to the left and an open book with a pink flower on it rests before the figure. The cutout is a depiction, not a physical person, and no physical people are present.
