A performer dressed as Shiva stands in a blurred close-up against a purple backdrop. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrapped over one shoulder and across the chest, a gold chain with a gold pendant, and a silver armlet. His long dark matted hair is wrapped in rudraksha beads, and white tripundra lines with a red-and-white third-eye mark decorate his forehead. He holds a silver trident-style staff with a rudraksha mala and a silver damaru drum with yellow cords in front of his face, the staff and drum partly obscuring his face.
