A performer stands at centre in a green-lit circular frame on a stage, dressed as a Shiva-type figure. He holds a silver trident in his right hand, has a rudraksha-style bead mala across his chest and a leopard-print lower garment with a saffron-orange wrap. Bead bracelets are on his arms and a tilak mark is on his forehead. Two tall brass oil lamps (deepa) flank him against a red and purple sky backdrop with a cloud-like pattern. The scene is a tableau or staged display. No identity claim is made from appearance.
