A smiling person stands on a red throne with zebra-striped upholstery under a large arched golden frame, holding a silver trident in the left hand and resting the right hand on the hip. The figure wears a leopard-print blouse, a red-orange dhoti-style lower garment, layered beaded necklaces, a chain belt, bangles and a dark mala around the wrist, with a red tilak on the forehead. Warm red and green stage lighting fills the background of stylised golden walls, and a leopard-print cloth drapes the platform in front.
