A photograph of a single performer standing on a red and black tiger-striped throne-like seat in front of a large ornate golden arch with embossed panels. The figure wears a green-and-black leopard-print sleeveless top, a dense necklace of rudraksha-style beads and small metal tubes, metal chain accents at the arms and waist, and a flowing red-orange wrap skirt. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders, and a red tilak mark is on the forehead. The figure holds a silver trident in the left hand with the right hand on the hip, under strong green and amber stage lighting against a warm glowing backdrop.
