He has long dark hair, a white vertical forehead marking and a red bindi, and eyes closed with a slight smile. He wears thick pink and white flower garlands, long rudraksha mala strands and a gold ornate necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a rust-red dhoti or wrap with a gold border. One hand rests on his chest. a person is not identifiable from appearance alone here, so this is a devotee-style figure at a festival procession with flower garlands and rudraksha beads.
