A man stands on a stage in front of a large ornate golden circular frame and a backdrop of orange flames, with smoke in the air. He wears a leopard-print garment across his chest, a leopard-print wrap, layered rudraksha-style beaded bands, a gold necklace, and rust-red dhoti-style lower garments with ankle ornaments. He holds a long staff in one hand and rests the other on his hip. Beside him are ceremonial implements on stands: a silver trident, a drum with a leopard-print cloth, a peacock-feather fan, a silver mace and a curved silver staff.
