The person wears a rust-brown and gold turban, a thick layered rudraksha mala of dark brown beads with gold ornaments, a gold bangle, and a gold ring with a round emblem. A bare shoulder is visible. Behind, a painted ochre and green column with decorative bases and a gilded deity murti or altar element stand in the background.
