A performer stands before an ornate gilded throne-like backdrop, smiling and holding a tall silver trident with a red gem in the centre of its head, one hand resting on the hip. He wears a long rust-orange garment draped over a leopard-print cloth, with a sash of rudraksha beads and brass bells crossing the chest and waist, rudraksha bracelets, a silver necklace, and a vertical white and red tilak on the forehead. Long dark curly hair falls to the shoulders. The mauve-lit backdrop and costume suggest a staged role rather than a devotional setting. One physical person is visible.
