He wears a long-strung rudraksha mala, a tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and has long dark hair swept back. Behind him stands a black stone deity murti adorned with pink and green silk, layered gold and jewelled necklaces, and a red and white flower garland, beneath a silver canopy with ornate arch.
