A performer on a stage with an orange-green glow and flame-like backdrop stands in a leopard-print garment with metal fittings and a belt, holding a small drum on a cord raised in one hand and a silver trident in the other. He has a white-marked forehead, long dark hair, a chest necklace and bracelets, while a large ornate golden arch frames him. A tall silver trident stands on the left beside a drum and a peacock-feather fan. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a leopard-skin garment and distinctive adornments, so he may be Swamiji performing in this staged depiction of Shiva.
