A standing man in a theatrical Shiva-like costume stands before an ornate golden arched backdrop, glowing in warm yellow light. He wears a leopard-print wrap over orange-saffron trousers, multiple strands of dark rudraksha beads across his chest and a pendant necklace, with beaded bracelets on his arms. He holds a silver trident in his left hand and rests his right hand on his hip, with a red tilak mark on his forehead and long swept-back hair. Hazy light suggests a stage or staged set. Appearance-based candidate: a person, shown in a costumed role with rudraksha malas, saffron-coloured trousers and a trident.
