A smiling performer in orange-red robes with a leopard-print cloth and a belt of rudraksha beads and brass bells stands barefoot on a patterned rug, holding a tall silver trident-like staff with a spear head and disc. A tilak marks his forehead and long dark wavy hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him a gilded ornate throne with a tiger-print cloth is visible against a pink-lit wall, with a wooden staircase railing at right. The figure appears to be a costumed character portrayal rather than a priest in ritual dress. Wooden clogs with bells rest on the floor.
