A figure with long dark hair seen from behind and in profile stands in blue-violet stage light and haze, gripping a silver trident (trishula) with a bejewelled arm. A bare-shouldered figure wears jewelled bands on the upper arm and wrist. Behind them a painted backdrop shows a large deity murti with an elephant-headed image and a lion-like form in pale tones. The scene is a stage presentation tied to the Kena Upanishad inauguration.
