A photograph of a single performer standing on a stage in front of an ornate red and gold illuminated arch with carved metalwork. He holds a silver trident in his raised right hand and rests his left hand on his hip; his other foot rests near a tiger-striped rug and a silver kalasha-shaped pot. He wears a dark leopard-print sleeveless top, a red-and-gold beaded necklace of rudraksha-style malas, and dark wide-legged trousers, with his long hair falling past his shoulders and a painted forehead mark. Coloured stage lighting in red and green fills the scene. The figure is visibly a performance or costumed presentation rather than a seated discourse.
