A performer seen from behind on a dark stage with orange-red flame backdrops and haze-lit beams. The figure wears a rust-orange draped garment, a leopard-print headwrap with a small crescent ornament, layered wooden bead bracelets and a beaded waist belt, holding a silver trident with a leopard-print cloth wrap and a tassel in one raised hand while the other rests on the hip. The long dark hair falls down the back. This appears to be a staged dramatic performance rather than a ritual. a person identity is not established from appearance.2017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18Photo 11708683 +1 copiesDecember 22 20172017-12-22A photograph of a man standing on a dark red stage beside a large silver trident with curled prongs. He has long, wavy dark hair, a white forehead marking, and a bare upper body covered by a dark, rudraksha-bead-and-brass-bell garment with a leopard-print panel. He wears multiple beaded bracelets and a cord across his chest, and holds his hands together near his waist. Behind him, a golden ornate throne-like seat and bright orange-yellow flame-like backdrop glow.2012-04-16A performer seen from behind on a dark stage, wearing a crescent ornament on long, braided dark hair and a patterned headband, with a green-tinted light and haze on the left. He holds a metal trident (trishul) upright in his right hand, with a rope-like wrap along its shaft, and his left hand rests on his hip. Behind him large red and orange flames fill the backdrop, forming a stylized shape. Wrist bands and a dark sleeveless garment are visible.2017-09-18Photo 11708690 +2 copiesPhoto 11708410December 22 20172017-12-22A figure stands on a stage in front of a large ornate golden ring, backed by green haze and orange flame projections. He wears a leopard-print bodice with bullet-shaped ammunition bandoliers, maroon dhoti-style trousers, a rudraksha-style necklace, arm bands and a tilak on the forehead, and holds a trident. Ceremonial props are arranged beside him: a tall trident-topped staff, a drum-like instrument, a whisk-like broom, a curved ornate staff and a small gold pole.2017-12-22
