A standing figure in an orange-red draped robe with a patterned sash and a patterned headband with a crescent ornament, wearing rudraksha malas across the chest and bead bracelets on the upper arms, holds a tall silver trident in one hand and a small damaru drum in the other. The figure stands barefoot on a stage platform draped in leopard-print fabric, with a spotlight on the floor and dark background; a candle stands near the base. The figure appears to be a staged depiction of Shiva rather than a clearly identified living person, so no a person identification is made from appearance.
