A performer on a stage stands centre-front in a saffron-orange draped dhoti and matching shawl patterned with leopard-print panels, his bare arms adorned with armlets and bangles. He holds a tall silver trident with a ribbon-like cloth hanging from it in his raised right hand and extends his left arm outward. His hair is long and swept back with a small crown or ornament on his forehead, and a red tilak marks his brow. Behind him a backdrop of glowing red and white lights forms a grid of illuminated shapes. A ring of brass oil lamps, deepamalas, is arranged on the dark stage floor around him, lit by a warm spotlight.
