A photograph of a man standing barefoot in profile on a stage, facing right, under stage lights and a truss rig. He has long dreadlocked hair pulled back with a decorative headpiece, and wears a leopard-print sleeveless top, a deep rust-orange draped dhoti-style lower garment with gold border, rudraksha bracelets on his upper arm and wrist, and a thin gold necklace. Behind him hangs a large magenta curtain against a black backdrop. The figure appears to be a costumed performer; the appearance alone does not establish identity, so no name is given.
