A performer stands barefoot on a stage in front of a black curtain and a crimson drape, arms outstretched in a dramatic gesture. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrapped across the chest and waist, a rust-red dhoti-style lower garment, a red headband with a gold ornament, rudraksha bracelets and a gold necklace, with white tilak marks on his forehead and long dark matted hair. Behind him, a row of brass lamps stands on the floor and a white floor air conditioner unit is visible. The figure is a costumed performer rather than a verifiable identity, so no name is assigned.
