A figure with long dark hair falling to the back, wearing a reddish-orange dhoti-style garment and a bare upper body with gold ornaments, stands barefoot with back to the camera in front of a large dark central panel flanked by two tall red-and-white illuminated LED screens with a grid pattern. Rows of polished brass oil lamps stand on the stage floor at the lower left and right. A partially visible person in dark clothing sits or stands in the lower foreground. Spotlight beams fall from the rig above.

Between the two screen panels stands a dark silhouetted figure in a narrow gap, its details indistinct. Rows of brass oil lamps stand along the lower edge in front of the screens. Stage lights with green and white beams hang on a truss overhead. The figure's clothing and features cannot be made out, so no identification is made.2017-12-18A person with very long dark hair falling down the back walks away from the camera on a stage, wearing a rust-orange draped dhoti-style garment with gold trim and bare arms adorned with gold armlets.

Behind, two tall walls of glowing red and white lights frame a dark central opening.2017-12-18A figure stands alone on a stage in a dramatic light show, holding a tall silver trident (trishul) in the right hand. He wears a saffron-orange draped dhoti and a matching orange-gold torso wrap, with gold armlets and a bare upper body, and has long dark hair swept back. Behind him is a backdrop of illuminated red and white screens arranged in a grid. Rows of brass oil lamps (lamps) line the stage edges on both sides.
