A photograph of a single standing figure on a raised stage in front of a large ornate golden circular arch and a golden throne-like seat backdrop. The figure wears long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, an ornate gold-and-orange embroidered upper garment with a heavy gold necklace, an orange wrap draped over one shoulder and orange dhoti-style lower garments. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and stands barefoot on a draped platform with flower petals, a small brass lamp and offerings in front. Red and purple stage lights colour the scene. Whether this is the a person candidate is an appearance judgment: the long swept hair, orange and ornate gold clothing and trident are compatible cues, but the figure is in a costumed stage tableau, so the identity is uncertain.

Gold armlets are visible on the upper arms. The right hand rests on a red and silver trident held upright, and the left hand is on the hip. Small offerings, including a lemon-like fruit and flower garlands, sit on a tiered platform at the base.
