He has long dark hair, a tilak mark on his forehead, and wears a silver and dark bead-and-ornament breastplate with a rudraksha-style necklace and a dhoti-like draped cloth in dark red. He holds a small trident. To the left stand ceremonial weapons and staffs, including a tall trident-topped staff, a tall spear-like staff with a tassel, a curved blade, and a short mace. The scene is lit with smoke and stage light. The setting resembles a staged performance of Kalabhairava darshan.
