A young girl stands on a stage in a red and black costume, posed inside a large ornate gold circular frame draped with red curtains. She wears a yellow and green bead garland, layered beaded necklaces, a gold pendant, and a red sash at her hip, and holds a tall gold trident upright in her right hand. Her forehead bears a tilak and a red mark on her face. A small trident and a kalasha-like finial stand nearby; a blue-lit backdrop shows a large trident and a stylised figure. A red flower-petal carpet covers the stage floor. The scene reads as a staged dance or tableau performance.
