A performer stands on a green-lit stage holding a tall silver trident, a trishula, in his right hand, with his left hand on his hip. He wears a rudraksha mala around his neck, a draped rust-brown cloth over his shoulders and a matching brown dhoti. A large backdrop shows a waterfall and grazing deer, and overhead stage lights beam white shafts across the haze. The scene suggests a staged cultural performance rather than a formal puja. Only one person is visible on stage. Appearance-based identity is not established from the photo alone, so the a person field is set to unsure.
