The face combines human and avian characteristics, featuring large, open eyes, a distinct nose, and a thin mustache.
He wears a tiered crown or headpiece (mukut), a patterned waistband (dhoti), and armbands with delicate etchings.
A traditional snake or sacred cord wraps around his chest and shoulders.
