A man stands on a stage in front of a large illuminated backdrop of glowing lamp-like patterns, beside a row of tall brass oil lamps (deepa) on the floor and a magenta draped curtain at left. He wears a reddish-maroon dhoti-style garment with a leopard-print shawl across one shoulder, dark hair pulled back, a forehead tilak, a beaded necklace and armbands. His clothing and stage setting appear ceremonial. Whether he is the person referred to in the page cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the figure is described by role only as a performer on stage.
