A stage performance seen from behind: a figure with long dark hair tied under a red head wrap, wearing a red and leopard-print garment, arms bent with hands on hips, gold bangles on the wrists and upper arms. Beside the figure stands a tall golden trident. Two golden ornate lion-head or lion-shaped pedestals flank the performer. Behind them a large white rock formation stands with several small grey sculptures of seated and standing deity murti, and a blue backdrop with lights. The scene is dramatic, with haze in the air.
