A bearded sadhu stands barefoot on a green tarp inside an orange tent, holding a tall iron trident decorated with gold tinsel, red cloth and a small drum-like disc. He is bare-chested, wearing a shiny gold lungi with a purple waistband, a yellow cloth bag over one shoulder and layered rudraksha and bead malas. He wears a pink flower in his matted hair, a tilak on his forehead and white ash markings on his chest and arm, and holds a copper kettle-like vessel in his other hand. Behind him hang orange cloth and a small brass pot on a red table.2013-02-06 +1 copiesA single standing figure in an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment with rust-coloured trim wraps stands before an ornate gold backdrop. The figure wears a long dark wig of curly hair, a yellow bindi-like ornament on the forehead, dark beaded armlets and a belt of rows of brass bells and dark beads. The right hand grips a silver trident with a crescent-shaped top and a red stone, held upright in front of the chest. The left hand rests on the hip. This appears to be a costumed performer or a depiction of a deity form, with clothing and trident indicating Shiva iconography, and no clearly readable text.2012-07-04December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16February 22 20132013-02-22July 04 20122012-07-04A man with long dark wavy hair and a red bindi stands on a stage in front of a red wall, holding a silver trident with a gold finial in his right hand.
