A single performer stands on a blue-lit stage before a backdrop of stylised orange and red flames, in a dramatic Kalabhairava-style presentation. He wears a leopard-print garment across the chest, a belt of bells, a brown dhoti, a gold necklace and sandals, with a red tilak on his forehead and a trident held in one hand. Beside him stands a large golden ornate arch or halo, and a row of ceremonial staffs and weapons, including a trident, a mace and a curved staff, rests on pedestals.
