A photograph of a stage performance. A man with long dark hair and a leopard-print garment, wearing a dense rudraksha bead necklace across his chest and bells on a cross-body strap, holds a silver trident and extends his arm toward a young person in a yellow-green t-shirt with a lanyard, whose palms are raised toward him. The setting is a warm-lit stage with a pale pink wall behind. The figure's costume evokes the Shiva iconography of the trident, rudraksha and leopard skin.
