A performer on a stage lit with blue, green and yellow spotlights stands raising his right hand in greeting. He wears a rudraksha mala of beads across his chest and a crown-like headpiece with a crescent ornament, with a red-orange tiger-striped wrap and rust-red dhoti. He holds a tall golden trident in his left hand, with a damaru drum tied near its top. Behind him a painted backdrop shows a waterfall and a rocky hillside with deer grazing. The setting suggests a cultural performance in the style of Lord Shiva, with ornate costume and theatrical lighting.
