A figure stands on a raised dais in front of an ornate golden arch framed by a large ring lit in red and green. The figure wears a green and red leopard-print garment wrapped at the waist over a long green skirt, with a bare upper body and a long green and gold bead mala around the neck. He holds a silver trident in one hand and rests the other hand on his hip. Green and red stage lighting colours the scene, and a decorative green cloth covers the front of the platform. The image is a photograph of a staged performance with a single person visible.
