A life-sized figure stands on a red-draped platform inside an ornate green-and-gold circular frame, holding a silver trident. The figure wears orange-red draped cloth, a multi-strand rudraksha and bead mala, a red and gold waist sash, and has long dark hair and a red tilak on the forehead. Behind the frame hang blue and white light beams and a backdrop of foliage, with two costumed statues in orange and green at right. The figure appears to be a wax or mannequin depiction rather than a living person. Pink and red stage lighting fills the hall.
