A man stands on a stage in front of a large ornate golden ring, a prop framed by flames painted on the backdrop. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrapped over his bare chest, a rudraksha-style bead strap and a rust-red dhoti, with a red tilak on his forehead and a gold necklace. He holds a silver trident in his right hand. Behind him, a red trident stands against the ring, and at left are a curved red kartari-like blade, a red staff and a dark whisk-like broom with orange flames surrounding the scene. The fiery orange stage lighting creates a dramatic Kalabhairava-themed setting.
