A man stands barefoot on a stage lit by green spotlights, in front of a large backdrop of illuminated red and white square panels. He holds a tall trident (trishula) upright in his right hand and rests his left hand on his hip. He wears an orange-brown dhoti with a gold-toned bodice and a gold waist ornament, and has dark hair pulled up. Rows of brass oil lamps line the edge of the stage at his feet. The appearance and staging suggest a theatrical or ceremonial presentation, and the page flags a person as present, but the face and build are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role and attire only.
