A person seen from behind with very long dark dreadlocks falling down the back, bare shoulders, and rudraksha bead armlets on both upper arms. The figure holds a silver trident in the raised right hand against a deep navy background speckled with stars. The bare back and long locks suggest a ceremonial depiction; the face is not visible.2020-04-04March 20 20202020-03-20Photo 11728992 +2 copiesAugust 26 20172017-08-26 +1 copiesPhotograph from behind of a performer in a Shiva-style stage costume, long dark matted locks piled into a high topknot and falling down the back.

Seen from behind, the figure wears long dark dreadlocks piled into a high topknot with small white flowers, gold hoop earrings, and a brown satin top under a leopard-print wrap. The performer holds a silver trident with a tall twisted staff in the right hand and wears gold armlets and bangles. The setting suggests a theatrical tableau at a Mahashivaratri event rather than a formal murti.2016-03-07August 26 20172017-08-26 +1 copiesA photograph from a stage event shows a figure seen from behind, with very long dark locks gathered high on the head and a small white floral ornament in the hair. The figure wears an orange-brown top, gold bangles and an armband, and a leopard-print wrap. The figure grips a tall silver trident with a twisted silver shaft. Purple stage lighting falls on leafy branches and a rough stone pillar, with a dark drape behind and a carved wooden bench at the lower right.2016-03-07A figure seen from behind on a stage set with a large tree and blue-violet lighting. The person has very long dark braided hair gathered on top of the head, gold earrings, gold armbands, a rust-brown top and a leopard-print wrap skirt. The right hand holds a tall silver trident with a twisted silver shaft. A carved wooden railing and red-brown fabric lie at the lower right. Only the back of the person is visible, so the face is not shown; the figure appears to be a costumed performer in a theatrical scene.2016-03-07A performer seen from behind on a dark stage, seated on a tiger-striped throne-like seat draped with orange cloth. He has very long dark hair in a high bun and thick plaited locks falling down his back, wears a leopard-print garment and gold armbands, and holds a tall silver trident with a glowing tip in his right hand. Overhead, a painted tree canopy is lit in blue and purple light, with haze in the air and a small water bottle on a side table. The figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no identification is made; the scene reads as a theatrical staging of a Shiva-like figure.2016-03-07
