A photograph of a single standing figure on a dark stage lit by green spotlights, in front of a large backdrop of illuminated red and white lamp-like lights arranged in grid panels. The figure wears a gold-toned draped dhoti and a gold upper-body covering, with a trident held upright in the right hand, bare feet, and a tilak on the forehead. A row of gold oil lamps lines the stage edge in the foreground. The figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the role is described as a person holding a trident.
