A man with long, wild dark hair and a bindi and white forehead marks stands in front of an ornate golden metal backdrop lit with green and red light. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment, a layered mala of rudraksha and white beads, metal bell pendants, and rudraksha armbands and a belt. Dangling rudraksha earrings hang from his ears, and he has a small ear or lip piercing. His eyes are wide and he is mid-expression, mouth open. The costume and face paint suggest a theatrical or ceremonial presentation of a Shiva-like figure. The page names a person at this event, but his appearance is uncertain, so this is a person with role-based description only.
