A single man stands on a stage with hands on hips, wearing a deep maroon draped garment with gold-threaded edges and a leopard-print sash across the chest and waist. He wears a white-and-red forehead marking, red-beaded armlets and wrist malas, a gold necklace, and a jeweled red-and-gold headpiece in long hair. Stage truss rigging, spotlights and a backdrop of glowing amber lights surround him. The look is a theatrical costume rather than a ritual setting. Based on the costume and presentation, the figure may be a performer or the a person, but appearance alone is insufficient for confirmation.
