He wears white ritual cloth with red-bordered edges draped over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala around his neck and a matching rudraksha bracelet on his wrist, plus a gold bangle. White sacred markings are visible on his forehead and upper arm. Behind him are orange cloth and a brown floor, consistent with a padapuja or ritual setting.
