A smiling person stands barefoot on a dark metal trident-shaped base set in the ground at night, holding a large silver trident aloft. They wear an orange ochre robe with leopard-print patterned fabric, a red flower garland, a dense multi-strand golden bead necklace, gold bangles, and a red-and-white forehead mark. A hand from the left holds a flaming oil lamp near the trident. A black deity murti with white face markings stands behind, and people with white-painted faces press their palms together at the right. Yellow fruits lie on the ground. Context suggests a ritual, but appearance alone does not establish that the central figure is a person. a person: unsure.
