A figure stands on a dark stage in front of a large golden circular ring, a halo-like prop with carved patterns, backed by orange and red flame graphics and haze. He wears a dark beaded or rudraksha-style chest garland, a belt of ornaments, and rust-coloured dhoti-style cloth, with one hand raised in a blessing gesture and the other holding a trident. Nearby stand a tall trident, a leopard-print cloth hanging from a staff, a peacock-feather fan and a curved ceremonial weapon. Stage lights glow above. The figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
