A performer stands on a raised stage in front of an ornate gold-and-green embossed arch, dressed as a Shiva-style ascetic figure. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrap, a rust-orange lower garment and a dense multi-strand necklace of rudraksha beads and gold chains, with gold armbands. He holds a polished silver trident in his right hand and a rope-like cord in his left, with orange fruits and a brass kalasha-style vessel on the stage floor below. The appearance is consistent with the a person cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate adornment, but the role here is a costumed stage presentation rather than a confirmed identity.
