A stage photograph shows one man in a theatrical Kalabhairava-style costume standing before a large ornate golden circular frame. He wears a leopard-patterned wrap, a beaded necklace and a sash with dark trousers, and holds a trident. Behind him a backdrop of red flames is lit with green light, and a fog hangs in the air. To his left stand staged props: a golden trident on a pole, a green serpent-headed staff, a gold-topped rod and a dark broom-like implement. The floor is green-lit and the scene reads as a stage performance display.
