A dark silhouetted figure stands with back to camera in front of a large projected screen showing a snow-capped mountain with icy blue waters in the foreground. The figure wears a crescent moon ornament in the hair and holds a tall trident with curved horns in the left hand, while the right hand rests on the hip. Long hair falls down the back and bare arms show bangles. The projection appears to depict Mount Kailash, and the figure is backlit so details of the body are obscured. The image shows a stage or screen presentation rather than a live ritual.
