He is dressed in orange silk draped over the shoulder, with layered gold and red-bead necklaces, a gold armlet, and jewelled bangles. He holds a silver staff in one hand and rests the other on his knee, with a leopard-print cloth over his shoulder. Behind him hang colourful painted banners with floral and lotus patterns and strings of marigold garlands.
