A figure seen from behind stands on a lit stage between dark red curtains, holding a tall trident with a silver shaft. The performer wears a dark headpiece, a bare back with arm bands, and pale salmon-coloured dhoti-style trousers. Behind them, large flames rise above a leopard-print covered platform, a dramatic deity-style staging reminiscent of Shiva iconography. The scene is a performance or theatrical tableau rather than a ritual setting, and the visible person is one performer.
