A single performer dressed as Shiva stands on a dimly lit stage in front of a dark purple and red draped curtain. He wears a bound headpiece with a crescent ornament, long dark locks falling down his back, a beaded shawl and dark garment, and an armband. He holds a tall glowing trident aloft in one hand, with his other hand on his hip. Behind him is an ornately carved dark wooden throne or pedestal. Purple stage lighting dominates the scene.
