He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style wrap, multiple white flower and bead malas, gold armlets and a patterned leopard-print headband with a crescent emblem above his head, and a red tilak on his forehead. To his right stands a bare-chested older man with white hair, also with palms joined, wearing a white dhoti with gold borders and a sacred thread. A woman in a purple and pink sari stands at left.
