A performer dressed as Lord Shiva stands on a dark stage under blue lighting, holding a silver trident with a leopard-print cloth wrapped around its shaft. He wears a tall matted topknot with a crescent ornament, white tripundra markings on his forehead, a long rudraksha mala across his chest, leopard-print drapery over dark wine-coloured garments, and beaded armlets.
