A photograph of a man walking barefoot across a stage toward the viewer. He wears a dark red-maroon dhoti and an upper cloth with gold-and-brown leopard-print patterning, a red-maroon garment draped over one shoulder, and gold bangles on his wrists. His hair is tied up with a decorative ornament and he has a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him a large backdrop of flickering lamp-like light projections fills the frame. Rows of tall brass oil lamps line both sides of the stage floor in the foreground, lit for the event.
