A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a white horizontal forehead band stands before a gold satin curtain, smiling and raising his left hand in a wave. He wears a ceremonial gold necklace, a rudraksha-bead belt at his waist, and a diagonal cross-body strap of brass bells and beads. Gold bangles cover his wrists and upper arms. In his right hand he holds a silver-and-gold trident (trishula) and a small hourglass-shaped damaru drum. The setting is a plain draped backdrop with warm lighting, and the image appears to be a posed portrait-style photograph.
