A man stands alone on a dim blue-lit stage, smiling, barefoot, holding a tall silver trident (trishul) with a small damaru drum tied near its prongs. He wears a rust-red draped garment with gold edging at the waist, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a short gold chain, with a bindi on his forehead. Light beams and a faint pattern of light spots cover the floor behind him. A candidate matching the appearance cues of a long-haired, rudraksha-adorned figure with a trident is present, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a performer or sannyasi with a trident and damaru on stage.
