A performer stands on a dark stage in a spotlight wearing a costume of Shiva, with a tall spiked headdress, bare chest, gold and beaded necklaces and rudraksha-style strands, and a rust-coloured draped dhoti with gold anklets. He holds a large golden trident (trishul) upright in his right hand and smiles toward the audience. Coloured stage lights in green, yellow and blue flood the scene behind him. The figure appears to be a costumed stage portrayal rather than a ritual setting, and no clear appearance-based identification of a person is made, so the a person field is unsure. One physical person is visible.
