A man stands barefoot on a brightly lit stage, viewed from a low angle beneath truss rigging and spotlights. He wears a rust-red draped dhoti, a leopard-print patterned sash and bodice, a red armband and a jewelled head ornament. Behind him a large screen shows glowing lamp-like imagery, and a row of golden candle-like stands lines the stage front. A large white stage canopy overhead completes the setting. The appearance of this figure suggests a candidate for a person, though this is uncertain given the costume and stage presentation, so the identity is marked unsure. Only one physical person is visible.
