A standing figure in orange-saffron dhoti and gold-embroidered bare-chested garment with a gold waist ornament and a red tilak on the forehead stands centrally on a stage, holding a tall silver trident (trishula) in the right hand and raising the left hand in a blessing gesture. Rows of brass oil lamps (lamps) line the stage floor on both sides. Behind him, a large LED video wall shows red and white glowing light patterns. Yellow stage lights beam from above. A silhouetted audience member's head and raised arm appear in the lower foreground. The figure fits the appearance-based label a person, given the saffron clothing, gold adornments and trident.
