A performer dressed as a deity stands on a red-cushioned throne-like platform in front of a large curved golden-brown arch with embossed circular pattern. The figure wears a sleeveless bodice of patterned fabric covered with beaded and tubular ornaments, layered chains, a long rudraksha-style beaded mala and beaded bracelets, with a red dhoti-style lower garment. A trident-like staff rises at the right edge. Warm orange and green stage lighting illuminates the scene. A small dot marks the forehead and a smile is visible. The figure appears to be a costumed performer rather than a clearly identifiable a person, so the a person field is set to unsure.
