A photograph of a figure seen from behind in front of a large blazing fire backdrop, which may be a projected or lit screen. The figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment and a wrapped headpiece with a crescent ornament, long dark hair falls down the back, and arm bands are visible. The right hand grips a tall golden trident with a striped tiger-skin style fabric tied near its shaft, while the left hand rests on the hip. The figure stands on a striped tiger-skin covered platform. Strong yellow and red light dominates the scene. The figure is depicted as a deity murti-style presentation rather than an identifiable person.

He holds a silver-gold trident in his right hand, standing beside a leopard-print circular platform. Behind him a large screen shows bright orange and red flames, creating a dramatic fire backdrop. Stage lights cast a warm glow on the polished floor.

A small white candle stands at the platform base.2017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18
