A man stands on a stage bathed in warm red-orange light, holding a tall red trident with his right hand and resting his left hand on his hip. He wears an orange-red dhoti and a matching shawl draped over one shoulder, with multiple strands of rudraksha or beaded malas, a gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, and gold armbands. A tilak marks his forehead and his long dark hair is swept back. Behind him is an ornate gold arch with a large silver-and-gold throne backdrop decorated with embellished stone-like studs and a tiger-striped cloth, with a deity murti partially visible on the right. Bells hang from the top of the arch. In the lower right, a red-and-gold ceremonial object is visible.
