He wears a golden-orange draped garment with a bejewelled bodice and gold ornaments, long dark hair piled on his head, and a bindi on his forehead. He holds a tall silver trident in his right hand, its shaft wrapped with a decorative cloth, and stands between two rows of brass oil lamps along the stage edge. Green and yellow spotlights beam down through the haze. The presentation has the look of a staged performance or theatrical tableau rather than a ritual.
