He wears a maroon sleeveless garment with a matching waist wrap, a heart-shaped silver pendant on a thick beaded necklace, a gold chain, beaded bracelets and an armband, and has a tilak on his forehead. Behind him, large illuminated figures of standing deities with multiple arms and jewelled ornaments flank an orange-lit carved wooden door under teal and orange stage lighting. A small ornate gold vessel sits at the lower edge of the frame.
