He wears a golden-brown ornate costume with a wrapped waist cloth, bare feet and an upswept headdress, and holds a tall golden trident (trishul) in his right hand while raising the other hand. Yellow light pools on the floor around him. The staging suggests a theatrical depiction of the deity Shiva rather than a live ritual gathering.
