A single performer stands on a dark stage holding a silver trident (trishula) whose shaft is wrapped with a leopard-print cloth tassel. He wears a rust-red draped garment with a leopard-print waist panel, rudraksha beads on his head, neck, arms and ankles, a crescent ornament on his headdress, and a white horizontal tilak with a central mark on his forehead. Coloured, light falls on him against a plain black backdrop. The performer's appearance is consistent with a person based on the rudraksha mala, ornate ceremonial clothing, and styled hair, presented as a stage portrayal of a Shiva-like deity form.
