He wears a maroon-brown turban with a jewelled brooch, a pink and white flower garland, a gold chain and a brown robe with a leopard-print under-cloth.

Nearby on the right, a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands, and seated devotees and a floral yellow-and-orange decoration appear in the background.
