A seated figure in red-lit stage lighting, eyes closed in meditation, sits cross-legged before dark red draped curtains. The figure wears a red patterned headband with a crescent ornament at the top of the head, a red patterned loincloth, layered rudraksha malas around the neck, and beaded armbands. A tall red trident stands to the left, with a small hand drum hung from its shaft and a patterned red cloth draped down the staff. Whether this is a live person or a statue is not clear from the image. The stage is dimly lit and the image is tinted entirely red.
