A man stands on a dark stage holding a tall silver trident with a drum-shaped mount and a long fringed cloth hanging from it. He wears a leopard-print or animal-patterned sleeveless top, a draped rust-orange and gold dhoti, and a dark swept-back hair style with a headpiece. Green and white spotlights sweep across a backdrop of illuminated square panels, and rows of brass oil lamps line the stage floor in front. A man in ornate tribal-patterned dress with a trident, standing as a performer or speaker on stage, with a large brass oil-lamp arrangement below. The scene is a stage presentation rather than a ritual gathering.
