A man stands barefoot on a dark stage holding a tall silver trident with a leopard-print drum hanging from its shaft. He wears a rust-orange draped dhoti, a leopard-print shawl across his chest and waist, rudraksha bracelets, a ceremonial chain necklace, a headpiece with red beads, and white tilak on his forehead. Rows of brass oil lamps glow behind him. The figure appears to be a costumed performance of Shiva-style iconography rather than a seated devotee. The a person cues include ornate clothing, rudraksha malas and a crown-like headpiece, but the appearance is not conclusive, so this is marked unsure.
