A photo taken in a dimly lit hall with red and green stage lighting. A figure with long, wild dark hair and a horizontal white forehead mark with a red dot stands in profile, holding a silver-toned trident (trishul) with a bowl-shaped base in one hand. Rudraksha beads encircle the arms and neck, and a bare-shouldered garment in pale tones is worn. A curved glowing yellow light arc and dark drapery form the background. The figure is a person in a Shiva-style costume, and the appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so the candidate is unsure.
