A staged photograph of a single performer standing beside a large golden ring against a backdrop of red and orange flame projections and haze. He wears a leopard-patterned bodice with a draped shawl, rudraksha-style beaded straps, a deep red dhoti and dark footwear, and holds a silver staff with a small ornament. Beside him stand ceremonial weapons and implements: a trident, a curved blade, a tall dark whisk-like staff and a pillar-like silver rod. The scene is lit with bright stage lights. a person is the page's indicated figure, identified only by long hair, ornate beaded adornments and a rudraksha-style look, so the appearance-based label is used.
