A performer on a stage under bright spotlights stands in a costume depicting a Shiva-like deity, holding a golden trident with one hand and resting the other on his hip. He wears an orange-red dhoti with a gold waist sash, gold necklaces and beaded garlands, and his hair is tied up in a topknot. Behind him a large projected backdrop shows a rocky, waterfall-filled forest landscape with bright light rays. The stage floor is lit with scattered light patterns. Dark silhouettes of spectators are visible at the lower edge. This is a theatrical cultural performance rather than a ritual.
