A photograph of a performer staged as Shiva on a dark stage backdropped by white, blue-lit mountain peaks cut from fabric. A person with long dark hair and a white tilak on the forehead stands centre, one hand raised in greeting and the other holding a silver trident. He wears a patterned leopard-print garment with a maroon wrap, a large ornate pendant, and layered rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Dark wooden pillars frame the stage, with potted green plants in the foreground and a tiger-striped platform with a small brass lamp and a pot behind him.
