A performer dressed in a Shiva-style costume stands barefoot inside a large illuminated green ornate ring frame on a stage. He holds a trident in his right hand, wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment, a leopard-print wrap, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and bead armbands, and smiles with one hand on his hip. Behind him are a red-orange dusk-like backdrop with a crescent and stars, two brass oil lamps (deepa stands) on either side, and a dark lattice of stage poles. The image is a stage photograph of a single person in a costume tableau.
