A man stands on a stage in front of a large ornate golden ring, holding a silver trident. He wears a leopard-print bodice with a gold-coloured belt and a rust-orange dhoti, a rudraksha-style necklace with a long garland, and bracelets. Behind him are flame-like red and orange projections against green haze. To his left stand ceremonial props: a drum on a pole, a curved blade, a staff and a ceremonial fan-like tool. Appearance-based candidate: a person, shown in person in a ceremonial stage performance with trident and leopard-skin clothing. Stage lights are visible at the base of the set.
