A performer stands alone on a stage in an orange and gold costume, holding a tall golden trident with his right hand and resting his left hand on his hip. He wears a headpiece, a beaded or rudraksha-style necklace, gold armbands and a gold waist sash over orange dhoti-like drapery. Behind him a large projected backdrop shows a green-lit forest waterfall with cascading water and a pair of deer in the lower left. Bright yellow-green stage lights and beams fill the scene. The figure appears to be a dramatic stage depiction of Shiva, shown in a theatrical tableau rather than a ritual, and the a person field is set to unsure because appearance cues are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity.
