He wears a leopard-print shawl over bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, orange cloth at his waist, and white bands on his upper arms. Behind him stands a large gold trident with orange ribbon against a backdrop of draped yellow-gold fabric and blue painted cloth. A black kalasha-style vessel sits at his left on the stage.
