A man stands on a dark stage holding a tall golden trident in his left hand, his right hand on his hip. He is bare-chested with a gold-and-rust ornate garment, a red-brown dhoti-style lower cloth, rudraksha beads across his chest and waist, gold armbands and a crown on his head. Behind him a large projected backdrop shows a waterfall cascading over dark rock. Dark blue stage lighting. Costume appears to be a deity-style character; the man is a single performer with distinctive adornments but appearance alone is not sufficient to confirm a person.

A man stands on a dark stage holding a tall golden trident (trishul) with his left hand, his other hand on his hip. He is bare-chested, wearing a gold and rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, gold armbands, a gold belt, and rust-red dhoti-style lower garments with gold ankle ornaments. A small crown-like ornament sits on his head and a red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him a large projected screen shows a forest waterfall scene with cascading water and a small herd of deer.
