A man stands alone on a dark stage, holding a large silver trident in his raised right hand. He wears an orange-saffron draped dhoti with a leopard-print patterned sash across his bare upper body, gold armlets and wrist bands, and his hair is pulled up with a decorative band. Behind him a wall of illuminated red-and-white video screens glows, and a row of brass oil lamps lines the front edge of the stage under green-tinged spotlights. The figure matches the presentation of a person through saffron dress, trident and ornate adornments, but the face is not clearly visible. A stage performance setting with a trident-bearing figure.
