He wears a rust-brown shawl over a bare upper body, a gold-and-brown woven sash, a long golden ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, and gold armbands and bangles. Behind him, several young people in deep red robes with gold borders stand with hands in anjali, and a boy in orange-saffron robes sits near a low concrete ledge with a red offering tray and a bucket.
