A photograph of a stage set inside an illuminated temple-style setting. A central figure stands in a rust-brown wrap and dhoti, wearing a layered rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with a trident held upright in one hand and the other hand on the hip. Two large golden-orange guardian figures with multiple arms flank the scene on either side. Behind the central figure hang strands of bells and beaded chains, and two gilded lion figures sit at the base beside a tiger-striped cloth on a purple pedestal. A small golden kalasha-like object sits in the foreground. The warm lighting gives the scene a golden glow.
