A photograph of a dimly lit stage set with a large relief sculpture of a multi-armed deity murti whose face is gilded, with ropes of beads and a necklace. Green-lit potted plants flank the backdrop. In the foreground, a figure with long black hair seen from behind, wearing a red garment with a tiger-striped cloth draped over the stage, holds a silver trishul upright and stands with one hand on the hip, facing the sculpture. The scene suggests a darshan-style stage presentation.
