He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold necklace with a large pendant, gold armbands and a red-orange dhoti, with a red shawl draped over the seat. Dangling tassels in red, green, yellow, purple and orange frame the throne, with peacock feathers and golden leaves above. Attendants in orange and red clothing hold long fly whisks or chamaras beside him, and a brass pot and flower offerings sit at the base.
