A man stands on a stage before a large golden ring framed by bright orange flames and haze. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrap over bare shoulders, a leopard-patterned kilt in rust and brown tones, a gold necklace, rudraksha-style beaded bands, and red-brown dhoti-style drapery, with sandals on his feet and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a trident-topped staff. To his left stand ceremonial implements: a curved silver blade, a silver baton, a peacock-feather fan, a leopard-skin tassel staff and a silver trident, set on metal stands. The image is a stage photograph from a Mahasadashivoham event, and the caption reads Kalabhairava-Darshan with Yoga Session.
