A man with long dark hair, a short beard, white vertical tilak on his forehead, and gold hoop earrings sits cross-legged on a tiger-skin-draped seat on a stage. He wears a rust-red ochre cloth draped over his torso, layered rudraksha-style beaded necklaces with silver pendants, and beaded wrist bands. Behind him stands a painted deity murti with a crown, multiple arms and a visible damaru-style drum-like object and ornate orange-and-green temple columns. To the left, a tall silver trident leans beside a leopard-print cloth hanging from a small drum. The setting is a decorated ceremonial stage backdrop with a carved wooden lattice panel at right.
