A single man stands in front of an ornate gold arched throne-like backdrop, gazing upward. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment over orange dhoti-style trousers, with long dark hair, a dark rudraksha mala draped across his chest, rudraksha bands on his upper arms and wrists, and a thick rudraksha belt at the waist. In his left hand he holds a silver trident with a pink tassel, and his right hand rests on his hip. The gilded frame behind him is heavily embossed with decorative patterns. The visible fact is a standing figure in ceremonial costume; the appearance-based cues of long swept hair, rudraksha malas and ornate dress suggest a person in a role of ceremonial figure holding a trident, and this is a photograph rather than a painting or screen.
