He wears a rust-red robe, a long gold bead necklace, gold bangles and a dark mala, and has a white forehead mark. His long hair is swept back, and his right hand rests at his cheek while he holds a large silver bowl on his lap with a green cloth beneath it. A multicoloured fringed canopy hangs above, with tall brass lamps with bird-shaped tops on either side and a brass oil lamp at left. The setting appears to be a seated ceremonial gathering.
