A photo of a stage event with a green-lit painted backdrop of a large banyan tree and hanging aerial roots over a sunset landscape. A standing figure in the centre wears a leopard-print shawl and skirt, a red-brown garment, a multi-strand beaded necklace and a red bindi, and raises one hand in greeting while holding a silver trident. Silver tridents stand on either side, with potted plants, a dark carved wooden seat and lit oil lamps in front, and a yellow floral arrangement at the right edge. A camera operator is silhouetted in the lower left foreground. The figure's appearance is consistent with a person candidate, with ornate clothing, beaded adornments and a trident, but the face and hairstyle are not clear enough to confirm.
