He wears a rudraksha crown with a crescent ornament, a rudraksha mala and multiple rudraksha armbands, a rust-orange garment over bare shoulders with leopard-print lining, and a horizontal white tilak with a central dot on his forehead. He is a single person on stage, styled after the Shiva iconography of a trident-bearing ascetic. Name attribution: no printed caption naming him is visible, so no identity is asserted.
