A man stands on a stage in a misty, dramatically lit scene, smiling and holding a trident in his right hand. He wears a leopard-print garment with a bare chest, a leather-looking cross-belt of small brass-coloured beads, a dark red-brown dhoti-style cloth, dark wristbands, and a red-ochre tilak on his forehead. Behind him is a large ornate golden ring with carved patterns, set against red-orange fiery backdrop imagery. To the left stand a tall trident with a drum and leopard-print fabric hanging from it, and a black brush-like staff.
