A seated man with long dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate golden throne flanked by two carved golden lion sculptures. He wears an orange-saffron robe draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, and bracelets. His hands are raised in front of his chest in a gesture of blessing while he smiles. Warm yellow stage lighting falls across the throne, which has ornate relief carvings on its back panel. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne are the qualifying cues for the Paramashivam role. A leopard-print cloth lies over the throne seat and a golden staff stands at the left edge.
