A lone performer stands barefoot on a dark stage lit by blue and green spotlights and small yellow floor lights. He wears bare-chested with a copper-gold draped garment and a golden waist cloth, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, arm bands and a headband. He holds a tall golden trident (trishul) upright in his right hand while his left hand is raised in a gesture. The scene resembles a staged Shiva-form performance rather than a devotional gathering.
