A performer on a stage, dressed as the deity Shiva, stands barefoot holding a golden trident with a drum-shaped ornament. He wears a bare-chested costume with a golden necklace, rudraksha-style beaded mala, orange-saffron draped lower garment and golden waist cloth, with a small crown-like headpiece. Behind him a large backdrop projection shows a green waterfall cascading over rocks. Stage lights create warm yellow and green glows over the floor. The figure is a costumed performer in a cultural show rather than a clearly identifiable individual, so no identity is asserted.
