A lone standing figure in a spotlight on a dark stage, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and draped cloth with a jewelled wrap at the waist, a sparkly headband with a crescent ornament, layered rudraksha malas and a gold chain. He holds a tall silver trident in his right hand and a folded gold-trimmed book in the other. He stands on a round leopard-print platform with a small candle at its base, barefoot on the lit floor. Appearance-based candidate: a person, in a stage performance setting with a trident and rudraksha malas as qualifying cues.
