A rudraksha-style beaded mala hangs across his chest. Behind him, another person in orange sits near a silver trident, golden kalasha-style pots, and a red velvet platform strewn with petals. Garlands of white flowers hang from the staff, and a purple fringed canopy stands at the right. Festival lights glow in the background.
