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. The figure appears to be a costumed performer, and the appearance cues for a candidate are present.
