A man stands on a stage beside a large golden ring-shaped prop, with ceremonial weapons arranged in front of him: a trident, a curved blade, a staff with a tassel and a drum-like object. Behind him are large projected flames against a smoky backdrop, and stage lights glow at the base. He wears a leopard-print garment, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace of bands, and a dhoti-like wrap in rust-brown, holding a small trident. He has long dark hair and a kumkum mark on his forehead, and gestures with one hand on his hip.

A photograph of a staged performance on a dark stage in front of large red and orange flame projections and drifting haze. A man with long dark hair and a beard, wearing an ornate copper-brown and gold costume with a layered beaded and rudraksha-style collar, a gold belt, and a draped leopard-print cloth, stands at right holding a trident. Beside him, a large gold ring-shaped prop stands upright, with a trident, a tall ceremonial staff, a curved black scythe-like blade, and a dark plumed weapon placed in front.
