A man stands barefoot on a raised gold-ornate platform in front of a golden arched throne-like backdrop and a large orange flame-like drape. He has long dark wavy hair, a white forehead marking with a red bindi, and wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment with a black lower wrap trimmed in gold. Rudraksha beads and small gold bells are wrapped across his chest, waist, and arms, and he holds a tall silver staff hung with small bells in his raised left hand while his right hand rests on his hip. A red and blue patterned cloth lies on a side platform. Only one person is visible, and the scene appears to be a stage performance.
