A man stands on a stage beside a large ornate golden ring framed by green-tinted lighting and flame projections on the backdrop. He wears a leopard-print tiger-skin style garment with a bandolier of bells, brown dhoti-style drapes, a necklace and arm bands, and holds a trident. Props include a trident, a staff with a feathered tassel, and a curved wand, with smoke haze around the set. Presentation cues are a shaved head is not visible; long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style adornments and the bare-chested ceremonial costume are visible, and the page names a person, so the figure is an appearance-based a person performing on stage in a Shiva-themed staged display.
