A figure seen from behind in warm orange and yellow haze stands at right, bare-shouldered with dark hair tied up, holding a tall staff topped with a finial, a trident-like object visible near the figure's side. To the left, a large painted or printed depiction of Lord Shiva with a crescent-like ornament, dark matted hair, multiple necklaces and a raised hand fills the backdrop, its tones washed out by the glowing light. The scene is a stage-like setting with rays of light and smoke.
