He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulder, a red mala of rudraksha beads, layered gold ceremonial necklaces and gold armlets, with a red tilak on his forehead. He smiles and looks to the side against a clear blue sky, with golden ornamental fittings and brass lamps on the chariot's front.
