A single performer stands centred on a dark stage under blue and violet spotlights that form a V-shape behind him. He wears a bare chest with a layered rudraksha-style bead necklace, a draped dhoti-style lower garment with ankle ornaments, and a crescent-like ornament in his hair. He holds a tall trident in his right hand, its prongs raised above his head. The figure resembles a Shiva-form stage portrayal, so this is a costumed performer rather than a clearly identified individual. Smoke or haze fills the upper light beam.
