He wears a leopard-print cloth over the chest and shoulder, a red-brown dhoti, a red-brown sash with a row of small gold bells across the waist, rudraksha beads on the arm, and a gold chain. He holds a tall trident-tipped staff and is smiling. Ceremonial props stand beside him: a curved blade with a serpent-shaped handle, a dark rod topped with a peacock-feather fan, a tall drum-topped staff wrapped in leopard fabric, and a golden kalasha-style pillar. Orange flames are painted on the backdrop and stage smoke drifts around the set. One physical person is visible.
