A man stands centrally in an ornate, lit temple-style doorway flanked by two large orange-painted stone guardian figures with multiple arms, holding ritual objects. He wears a maroon-red robe over a dark red garment, a layered rudraksha mala, a gold pendant and a dark crown-like headdress, and extends one arm while holding a silver trident. Strings of small lights and hanging bells decorate the dark backdrop. Behind him are a gold-framed seat draped with a tiger-skin pattern and gold lion heads, with a brass lamp in front. The lighting is warm orange and green. The photo appears to show a stage-set deity-style tableau; the figure's identity is uncertain from appearance, so the role is described as a man in ritual dress.
