A stage performance framed by red and orange flame backdrops and billowing haze. A man stands centrally within a large ornate silver-toned circular frame, holding a silver trident. He wears a bare upper torso with a layered beaded and jewelled shoulder garment, a tilak on his forehead, and a reddish-brown dhoti. Around him stand ceremonial props: a tall trident-topped staff, a curved silver blade, a dark feather-like whisk and a silver pole finial. The scene suggests a staged Kalabhairava-themed darshan.
