He wears a long multi-strand gold-and-bead necklace and a long pink-and-blue flower garland, with hands raised in greeting. A golden parasol stands above him. Silver trishula staffs and golden sun-disc standards flank the platform. On the right, two people in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand with folded hands, and a figure in white stands behind. In the foreground, a seated man in a yellow-orange garment sits beside smoke rising from a fire pit, and a pink flower offering is visible at lower left. Behind the platform is a white colonial-style building with tall windows.
