A photograph taken from behind of a single performer standing before a patterned wooden or stone panel lit in red. The figure has very long, loose black hair falling to the lower back, tied at the crown with a red cloth and beaded band. They wear a red-orange shawl over the shoulder, red-orange dhoti-style trousers, a red waist cloth with beads, and ankle bells. In the right hand is a silver trident, with a wooden staff-like pole visible below. Red stage lighting dominates the scene. Because the figure is seen from behind, identification is uncertain; the appearance cues of long hair, red-orange clothing and a trident are shown but do not establish who it is.
