A figure stands on a raised dais in front of a large ornate golden arch lit by orange-red light, with floral garlands hanging on the sides. The figure holds a silver trident in one hand and rests the other hand on the hip, wearing a red-orange cloth wrap, a dark beaded waist belt, a long rudraksha-style mala, and bangles, with long dark hair and a tilak on the forehead. A dark throne-like seat stands behind. A white cooler unit is at the left edge. The figure has the appearance of a Shiva-themed costume or tableau, so this is a probable depiction of a performer rather than a clearly identified person.
