A single figure stands centred on a dark stage, holding a tall silver trident with a damaru-like drum attached to its shaft. He wears a flowing red-orange dhoti-style garment with a gold-embroidered bodice and gold waist ornament, bare arms with armlets, and a tilak on his forehead. Rows of ornate brass oil lamps stand on both sides of the stage, lit by overhead spotlights. The figure's appearance, long swept-back hair and saffron-orange ornate clothing offer some cues, but the identity is uncertain; he is described by role as a performer holding a trident.
