A man with long, dark, curly hair stands holding a large silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over one shoulder, rudraksha mala beads on his arms and chest, a belt of small brass bells, and a leopard-print lower garment. A white and red tilak marks his forehead. The background is a pinkish-lit wall beside an ornate gold-toned panel. The figure appears in a Shiva-themed costume with the trident as the central prop. The swami identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role and attire only.
