A photograph of a performer on a stage lit with red and green light. A smiling person with long curly dark hair and a red bindi stands before a large ornate golden arch lined with marigold garlands. They hold a tall silver trident with one hand and wear a leopard-print top, a red skirt-like wrap, long necklaces of red and wooden beads, and many dangling metal bells and chains across the chest and waist. Behind them is a red patterned throne-like seat.

The figure wears a red and green leopard-print outfit, layered red and green beaded necklaces, and has a red-painted face with a bindi, long dark hair and eyes closed. A gold-and-red draped cloth sweeps at the hip.
