Pink and orange flame projections and blue-violet stage lighting fill the background. The figure's face is not visible.

In the foreground stand ceremonial weapons and ritual objects: a trident with a tall shaft, a curved sword, a long staff with a finial, and a broom-like ritual implement with feathered or fibrous tufts. The figure's long hair and pose are backlit, so no clothing colours or distinctive adornments are clearly visible; the figure's identity is uncertain. Performance-style staging suggests a Kalabhairava-themed darshan display, but this is inferred from the scene only.2017-12-22
