A photograph of a man standing on a raised stage platform draped with a leopard-print cloth, in front of a red throne-like backdrop framed by an ornate gold arch and a starry, pink-and-purple painted backdrop. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment and a green-and-black patterned top, with long dark hair, a white forehead marking, a long rudraksha mala and beaded bracelets, one arm raised holding a silver trident. Brass oil lamps stand on either side of the stage, and a dark ceremonial staff rests against the left side. a person is shown in appearance-based terms: long swept hair, rudraksha malas and saffron clothing, standing in a performer's pose on the stage.
