A man stands alone on a stage in a rust-red draped dhoti and matching upper wrap with gold-patterned trim, bare-chested with gold necklaces and red bangles, long hair tied up. Rows of brass oil lamps line the stage floor in front of a large LED screen filled with glowing flame-like lights, and a magenta velvet curtain hangs at the left edge. The setting suggests a staged ritual or discourse performance.
