A man performs alone on a stage in a dramatic costume, standing barefoot with his weight on one leg and looking off to the side. He wears a dark rust-red draped dhoti with a gold-edged border, a leopard-print animal-skin wrap across the chest and waist, rudraksha bands on his upper arms and wrists, and a gold pendant necklace. He has long dreadlocked hair with a red ornamented headpiece and a white tripundra on his forehead. Behind him a large backdrop of glowing orange and gold lamp-like imagery fills the frame, and a row of tall brass oil lamps lines the stage floor. The setting suggests a staged theatrical or devotional performance.
