A man stands on a stage holding a silver trident upright in his right hand, with his left hand on his hip. He wears a dark shaved-top-free black turban-style head covering, gold earrings, multi-strand gold and bead necklaces, rudraksha bracelets, and a rust-brown draped garment with a leopard-print wrap at the waist. Behind him a large gilded deity murti in seated pose with multiple arms holds a damaru-like instrument, set against a grey stone backdrop. Below it a tiger-striped cloth covers a low platform. Golden leaf decorations hang overhead and potted green plants line the stage. Appearance-based probable candidate: a person, holding the trident as a ceremonial stage figure.
