A dimly lit stage in a hall with purple and amber stage lighting and haze. A single standing figure in dark clothing and a dark head covering holds a small object at chest height, silhouetted beside a carved ornate chair with a plant beside it. A row of small oil lamps lines the front edge of the stage. A tall brass oil lamp stands at right, and a large geometric sri yantra-style pattern of triangles is projected on the back wall. Facial features are not distinguishable, so identity is uncertain.
