A man in saffron-orange draped dhoti and a matching gold-and-orange shawl with ornate gold adornments stands barefoot on a dark stage, holding a tall silver trident upright in his raised right hand. A tilak and a small jewelled ornament mark his forehead, and a rudraksha-style bead necklace is visible. Behind him is a large backdrop of illuminated red and white square panels, with rows of brass oil lamps lining the stage floor and green spotlights overhead. The figure is presented as a person by appearance cues: saffron clothing, ceremonial gold ornaments and a trident, shown in a stage setting.
