A performer stands barefoot on a patterned rug on a stage, arms outstretched, smiling. He wears a yellow turban with a jewelled ornament, a green silk garment with gold border draped over the shoulder, a yellow waist sash, and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace. A brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped top and a lit flame stands to the right beside a black curtain and microphone stands. The costume suggests a theatrical or dance-drama performance rather than a ritual setting.
