A figure stands on a stage framed by a large red and gold ornamented circular arch, lit with red and green stage lights. He wears long, swept-back dark hair, a red-orange draped garment, layered rudraksha-style beaded malas across the chest, a leopard-print and tassel waist sash, and multiple beaded bracelets on his wrists. He holds a long ceremonial staff topped with a small ornament in one hand. Behind him sits an ornate silver-and-red throne with a striped fabric backrest, and a decorative silver figural stand is visible at the right. Identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role as a performer or ceremonial figure on stage.
