A bearded man in a red-orange turban with a crescent emblem stands barefoot on a striped woven mat on a stage, hands pressed together in namaste near his face. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold-toned ornate necklace, red bangles and a rust-red dhoti with gold borders, with long dark hair falling down his back. Behind him stands a brass trishul on a stand, a gilded temple-style frieze and a wall of wooden shelves with small lamps. Several women in orange and red saris watch from the right side of the stage, and a crowd is partially visible in the dark background. The visible appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a person in person.
