A man with long dark hair stands on a raised gilded platform in front of an ornate golden circular arch and a gold-embossed backdrop, lit in blue. He wears an orange sleeveless top, a leopard-print wrap, orange trousers, layered silver beaded necklaces, rudraksha-style beaded bands on his arms and ankles, and holds a silver trident in his right hand while his left hand rests on his hip.
