He is bare-chested, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti wrap, rudraksha mala beads, a white sacred thread, and a horizontal white sacred mark on his forehead and body. A tall brass or gold-topped ritual staff stands beside him. Behind him, rows of seated devotees in white and colourful clothes fill the tiered red stone steps, with small oil lamps or lit diyas placed along the steps. Two men in white dhotis are visible at the right edge.2016-12-17
