Photograph on a stage at a staged Kalabhairava-themed event. A man with long dark hair and a red tilak stands centre-right, bare-shouldered, wearing a leopard-print garment, layered brass bell belts, rudraksha-style necklace, red-brown dhoti and ornate sandals, holding a silver trident. Behind him a large ornate golden circular arch frames the scene against orange flame projections and green smoke. To the left stand ceremonial implements: a silver trident, a drum on a pole, a peacock-feather fan on a stand, a staff with a snake-head finial and a short pole. Only one physical person is visible. He is not clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so a person is unsure.
