A man stands in misty light before a large ornate golden arch, holding a silver trident with a long shaft in his right hand. He wears a leopard-print garment draped over one shoulder, with rows of brass cartridge-like beads crossing his chest and waist, a brown dhoti-style lower cloth, a gold necklace, a red thread bracelet and a rudraksha-style wrist mala. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and a tilak marks his forehead. Behind him, a red glow suggests fire.
