A standing man on a dark stage holds a tall silver trident with a fringed tassel in his right hand, lit by green and yellow spotlights. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a leopard-print or patterned bodice with a red-orange shawl over one shoulder, plus a gold armlet and a forehead tilak. Behind him is a wall of illuminated red-and-white screens, and a row of brass oil lamps lines the stage front. Appearance-based candidate: a person, shown performing on stage with a trident, a saffron garment and ornamental adornments.
