A photograph taken from behind a stage performance. In the foreground, a figure with long dark hair wrapped in a dark head covering and wearing a rust-orange cloth stands with a silver trishul held in one hand, facing a large carved relief of a multi-armed deity with a gold-painted face and a tall crown. Two carved lion-like figures flank the relief. Potted green plants lit with green light stand on both sides of the stage, which has a red-lit floor. A camera operator's equipment is visible at the bottom edge. Whether the figure is a person cannot be established from appearance, so the figure is described by role only. Credit text is watermarked at lower right and omitted.
