A man with long swept-back black hair, a crown-like rudraksha and gold-bead headpiece, and an orange saffron garment with gold border leans forward and touches a dark carved stone platform with his right hand. He wears rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, gold hoop earring, and a gold bangle. Behind him, a brass lamp stands on the left and a red-painted structure appears at the right edge of a temple-like stone setting.
