A standing man in orange-red robes stands before a dramatic backdrop of red and orange flames. He holds a silver trident in his raised left hand, its prongs at the top, with a gold-and-leopard-print drum-like ornament near the handle. He wears a leopard-print headband with a silver crescent, long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas across his chest, rudraksha bands on his upper arms, and a leopard-print sash at the waist. Smoke drifts across the scene. Appearance-based candidate: a person, a figure in an orange-red robe with rudraksha malas, leopard-print headwear and a trident, shown as a staged performer rather than in a ritual setting.
