Dim blue-lit stage photograph of a single performer in a Shiva-style costume, standing in a haze of smoke. He wears a crescent moon ornament on his head, a bead mala with a large ceremonial necklace, and bare arms with armbands. A trident with a drum-shaped element stands beside him, and the background is almost black. The figure appears to be an enactment of Shiva rather than a clearly identified person, so the appearance-based label is unsure.
