A performer on a stage dressed as a Shiva-form deity with blue-tinted skin, a crescent moon ornament and a matted topknot, with white tripundra markings on the forehead. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrap, a rudraksha mala and armbands, raises one hand and holds a large trident with a leopard-print tassel in the other. Behind him is a backdrop of glowing red and purple waves with starry dots and a bright flame shape. Only one person is visible; the appearance does not clearly support an identification of a person, so the role is described as a performer in Shiva costume.
