Multiple garlands of white jasmine and red flowers, plus a heavy mound of yellow and pink petals, cover his lap and shoulders, and petals fall through the air around him. Several dark rudraksha beads hang on his chest, and a wooden staff leans at the left edge. Behind him is a gold repoussé crest with a seated deity figure, framed by yellow and magenta flowers.
