A photograph of a stage performance in which one barefoot performer in rust-red and gold draped costume, with a gold-embellished bodice and a dhoti-style lower garment, stands on a dark stage with arms extended. Long dark hair is swept back with a headpiece, and a tilak mark is visible on the forehead. Behind him a large screen shows a grid of glowing lamp-like flames in orange and yellow. Rows of brass oil lamps stand on the stage floor at his feet, and a deep magenta curtain hangs at the right edge. The performer's role is a dance or theatrical role; a person appearance is ambiguous given the costume, adornments and hair, so the identity is uncertain.
