A figure seen from behind stands on a stage before a backdrop of large projected flames and dark smoke. The performer wears a leopard-print headband, long dark dreadlocks falling to the back, a rust-orange draped garment with a leopard-print sash, and beaded bracelets on the upper arm. The figure holds a silver trident with a decorated shaft and tassels, and a leopard-print seat with a tiger-striped cushion stands at left, reflected on a glossy stage floor. Pose and staging suggest a theatrical depiction of Shiva; the visible costume cues are a trident, dreadlocks and a leopard-print seat, but the identity of the person is not established from the image.
