He wears an orange dhoti-style garment with a green and gold bordered shawl draped over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala around his neck, with his hands folded at his waist and eyes closed. To the left, a red-painted mound with black and white snake sculptures sits beside a silver-toned decorated arch. The person's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

He wears an orange-saffron draped garment with a red-orange sash and gold-bordered trim, layered gold necklaces, and gold bangles on his arms, with a red tilak and white markings on his forehead.
