A photograph from behind of a single figure standing on a dimly lit stage set. The figure has long, loose black hair falling to the back, a decorated crown or headpiece with flower-like ornaments, and bare arms with red-beaded bracelets. The figure wears a leopard-print skirt over a deep red wrap and holds a tall silver staff in the right hand while the left hand rests on the hip. Behind is a large silvery backdrop with a relief-like deity murti with multiple arms and a trident, flanked by red drapery, purple haze and potted green plants. A golden bull figure appears at the lower right near the staff, and a small flame glows at the left edge.
