Stage photograph of a performer in a Kalabhairava-style costume standing beside a large ornate golden circular frame against a backdrop of red and orange flame projections and drifting smoke. He wears a leopard-print top with a brown-red dhoti, a rudraksha-style necklace, and a bandolier of brass bells across his chest, with a red tilak on his forehead and a long braid. A golden trident stands to the left, with a ceremonial staff and a whip-like curved implement nearby, and a black feathered whisk and leopard-print cloth hang from the staff. Bright stage lights glow at the base. a person cannot be confirmed from the costumed appearance alone, so identity is uncertain.
