A performer dressed as a fierce Shiva-like deity stands on a red zebra-striped throne in front of a large glowing golden arch with embossed metal rim. He holds a silver trident in his left hand, its shaft running down beside him, and his arms extend along the arch. He wears a leopard-print bodice, a dense rudraksha-style mala with bead strands and bells, a red dhoti-like skirt, bead bracelets and a red bindi, with green and red stage lighting on his face and body. Strings of flowers hang at the top right. Bare feet rest on the throne's edge. This is a stage dramatization, and the performer's identity is not determinable from appearance.
