A dramatically lit photograph of a standing performer dressed as the deity Shiva in a dark stage setting. He wears a patterned headband with a crown-like top, a beaded rudraksha-style mala necklace, armlets and bangles, and a rust-red and gold draped dhoti with a gold border. He grips a tall silver trident with a small hand drum or damaru fixed near its shaft, and light beams fall from above across the dark background. Only one person is visible. No identification of a specific individual is made from appearance; the figure is a costumed portrayal.
