A performer stands on a raised stage dressed as a deity with a trident, wearing a green and gold costume, a garland of flowers and beaded necklaces, and dark skin paint. The performer holds a long trident in one hand and stands before a large golden circular frame with a glowing fire and a flame-lit backdrop. A marigold garland arches over the frame. Red kolam-style diamond panels with white patterns, red and white draped curtains, floral decorations and two cooler units frame the stage under a decorated ceiling with floral motifs. The scene resembles a theatrical or festival tableau. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable from appearance, so no in-person presence is claimed.
