A performer dressed as a Shiva-like figure stands on an ornate golden throne with a carved gold arch behind him. He wears a leopard-print tunic, a rust-orange dhoti with gold border, a red-beaded rudraksha-style mala, and holds a silver trident in his right hand. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and a bindi is on his forehead. Fruits sit on a low wooden platform at the base of the throne, and a pink-lit backdrop with hanging bells fills the background.

A man with long, loose dark hair and a red-painted face stands beside an ornate gilded throne-like frame. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless top and a brown dhoti-style lower garment, with multiple strands of rudraksha and gold beaded malas around his neck.
