He wears long dark hair swept back, an orange-saffron garment wrapped at the body and draped over one shoulder, a gold pendant necklace, a rudraksha-style bead mala, a dark waist belt, and a band on his upper arm. Garlands of red and yellow flowers hang near his feet beside a draped green-and-tan cloth. A lamp-like bowl sits at the left edge and a white obelisk stands at right, with orange metal containers behind the platform.
