A stage photograph in dim purple and blue light shows a seated figure in the centre, dressed in a rust-red cloth with a striped and leopard-patterned wrap, gold necklaces and a dark matted headdress with a crescent ornament, sitting before a tall trident and a large illuminated tree backdrop. The figure appears to be a costumed performer or a sculpted depiction posed as Shiva; no clear person-like features are discernible enough to confirm a live individual. Smoke or mist hangs over the stage floor and a small figure stands near the lower left edge.
