He wears an orange dhoti and an orange-and-red silk shawl with gold zari borders, a white and red flower garland, layered rudraksha-style beads, and gold bangles on his wrists and upper arms. He sits on an ornate gilded throne with cream cushions, backed by a large arrangement of yellow marigolds, red and white flowers and green leaves. Bare feet rest on a small footstool. The setting suggests a festival dais or temple celebration.
