A man stands barefoot on a dark stage facing forward, holding a tall silver trident with a tassel wrapped in leopard-print cloth. He wears an orange-brown draped dhoti, a leopard-print bodice with a bare upper torso, bangles on his arms, and a silver necklace; his hair is swept up into a topknot. Behind him a large backdrop of illuminated square panels glows in red and white, and a green spotlight beams from the left. Rows of brass oil lamps line the stage floor in the foreground.

A standing man on a dark stage holds a large silver trident aloft in his right hand, its head wrapped with saffron and green ribbons and tassels.
