A photograph of a stage performance against a backdrop of orange and red flames. A bare-chested man with long dark hair, a tilak on his forehead, a white flower garland and a leopard-print waist wrap stands beside a large ornate golden circular frame, holding a silver trident in his right hand and resting his left hand on his hip. Stage props include a larger trident, a peacock-feather fan, a curved horn-like staff and a wooden pole with a brass finial. Stage lights glow at the bottom edge. The figure has distinctive long hair, a garland and adornments, but the appearance is not clearly confirmed as a person, so the figure is described by role as a performer.
