A man stands on a stage before a large ornate golden circular frame, with orange flames and smoke rising behind him. He wears a leopard-print cloth over his shoulder and chest, a rudraksha-style chest adornment with metal beads, and rust-red dhoti-like drapery; a tilak mark is on his forehead. He holds a long silver trident-tipped staff, and a tall ceremonial trident with a drum-shaped ornament and a dark whisk-like staff stand nearby. Warm stage lights glow at the bottom edge. The visible appearance matches the page's a person claim through clothing and ceremonial props, so this is a probable in-person a person performing as a Shiva-style stage figure during the Kalabhairava darshan session.
