A purple-blue lit stage scene filled with haze. A figure with long dark hair, seen from behind and partly in profile, stands at the right side holding a silver trident (trishul) upright in one hand. Behind them a large painted backdrop shows a deity with multiple arms, adorned with jewelry and a tiger-skin cloth, painted in warm tones. The figure wears a sleeveless dark garment and bangles on the arms. No clearly visible face or identifiable a person candidate is shown, so the person is described by role only as a figure holding a trident.
