Stage photograph of a performer costumed as the fierce deity Kalabhairava beside a large ornate silver circular frame, set against bright green smoke and orange flame projections. He stands with a trident held in one hand, wearing a silver-studded bodice, dark dhoti-style lower garment, a necklace and armbands, with a painted face and forehead marking. Behind him stand ceremonial weapons: a trident on a pole, a curved blade, a tall staff and a feathered rod. The framing suggests a staged darshan event. Poor match for a visible a person; the figure is a costumed performer rather than a clearly identifiable person.
