A long-haired figure in a leopard-print garment layered with rudraksha beads and bells stands holding a silver trident, arms extended forward toward a man in a white t-shirt with his hands raised near the figure's face. A bald man in orange clothing kneels at lower centre with hands joined, and a man in white kurta stands at right background. A white air conditioning unit and dark curtain form the backdrop.

He wears a leopard-print garment with layered rudraksha malas and gold bead ornaments, and a pendant necklace. Two men in orange and saffron clothing with mala beads kneel and watch with clasped hands beside the stage, and another man in white stands behind. Warm stage lighting, a dark curtain and a window frame form the backdrop.
