A staged performance photograph with green smoke and orange flame projections behind a large ornate golden circular prop. A man stands in front of the ring wearing a dark patterned bodice with a sash of beaded or cord strands, a wrist bracelet, and dhoti-style trousers, with dramatic painted face makeup. Beside him stand a tall trident, a ceremonial staff with a drum-like ornament, a curved sword-like blade, and a long broom-like object. A trident is also held in his hand. a person is indicated by the page; the figure's appearance shows a single standing performer with ritual props and adornments, so identity is uncertain.
