A performer dressed as a deity stands before an ornate golden arch decorated with repoussé relief, flanked by garlands of yellow, red and green flowers. The figure holds a tall silver trident with a red jewel, long dark hair falling loose, wearing a green and red beaded bodice, bangles, and a tiger-striped garment draped over a golden shawl. Warm red and green stage lighting fills the scene, with a painted figure partly visible at the right edge. The image appears to depict a deity murti-style role in a theatrical reenactment rather than an identifiable individual.
