A single figure stands centre stage in a saffron-and-leopard-print costume, holding a tall silver trident with a leopard-print tassel and a small drum hanging from its shaft. The figure wears a red-orange draped dhoti, leopard-patterned bodice, armbands and bangles, with long dark hair swept up and a crown ornament, and a red tilak on the forehead. Behind is a wall of illuminated panels with green stage lighting, and rows of brass oil lamps line the front of the stage. A tall trident and oil lamps suggest a Shiva-themed stage presentation.
