A man stands on a stage in front of a large ornate golden ring-shaped prop, dressed in a leopard-print top with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a dark maroon-brown dhoti, with a long braid hanging over his shoulder. He holds a trident-topped staff in his right hand and stands beside a tall trident, a curved blade, and a feathered staff. Behind him, a backdrop of orange and red flames fills the blue-lit stage. A tilak marks his forehead. A kalabhairava-style costume and stage set suggest a dramatic performance rather than a seated darshan.
