A man with long dark hair, a full beard and a tilak-like forehead mark sits cross-legged on a tiger-striped cloth draped over a seat in a temple-style stage set. He wears a rust-red garment over his torso and a rust-red wrap, with layered red-beaded rudraksha-style malas and gold necklaces, plus bangles on his arms. Beside him stands a silver trident with a small drum and a leopard-print cloth hanging from it. Two painted deity guardian figures with crowns, gold ornaments and orange lower garments flank a large carved wooden door behind him, with a small brass vessel at his feet. The scene is a staged set with warm orange lighting.
