December 18 20172017-12-18A single figure stands centrally on a dark stage under bright white spotlight beams. He wears a rust-orange draped dhoti and matching upper cloth with gold-toned embellishments, a gold necklace, and a tall bun or crown-like headpiece. He holds a long trident-like staff with a decorated shaft in his right hand.
