A man stands barefoot on a stage raising his right hand in greeting, holding a silver-hilted sword in his left hand. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless top with a rust-red dhoti-style cloth and a rust-red sash, with a thin necklace at his throat and long hair. Behind him a large screen shows a painted figure in a red turban and red garments with a sword, beside a red chair with a white and silver throne. The large word Mahasadashivoham is printed in red on the backdrop. Stage lights hang from a white tent ceiling. The man's appearance has several cues, long hair, ornamental necklace and a sword-carrying presentation, but the image does not settle identity, so the figure is described by role as a performer on stage.
