A photograph of a single male performer standing barefoot on a stage with arms spread wide. He wears a deep red draped garment with a cream and black patterned panel across the chest and waist, a red sash-like wrap, and bangles on the upper arms and wrists. A tilak mark and a small ornament adorn his forehead, and his hair is tied up. Behind him a large video wall shows glowing oil lamp imagery in orange and gold. Rows of ornate brass oil lamps stand in front of the stage on both sides. Stage lights hang overhead. The figure's appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so no candidate is named.
