He has very long dark dreadlocked hair swept back, a red-orange tie-dye style rudraksha or bead ornament in his hair with a gold clasp, and a gold earring. He wears a rust-red draped garment with gold zari edging, a leopard-print cloth wrapped at the waist and chest, and rudraksha bead bracelets on his wrist and upper arm.
