A man in rust-orange saffron robes stands on a dark stage, eyes closed, holding a tall ornate golden trident-staff in his right hand, with a silver trident and a silver staff standing to his left. A rudraksha mala and gold necklace hang on his chest, and a red headband with a tilak is on his forehead. Behind him a large projected backdrop shows a pyramid-like cluster of many faces of Shiva with crescent moons and trident motifs against a red and purple cosmic glow. Two gold lion heads sit at the base of the stage.
