He has long dark hair, a white forehead marking and a dark beard, with a beaded necklace. Behind him is a bronze statue of Nataraja, Shiva as Lord of the Dance, within a flame arch. Ornate silver-patterned chairs, a leopard-print cloth and wooden pillars with hanging chains frame the courtyard session. A tabletop fan and a red wall complete the scene.
