He wears a green and red draped garment with a leopard-print wrap at the waist, layered green beaded necklaces and a thin pendant cord around the neck, and a ring on his finger. Red and green stage lighting colours his face and clothing. The posture and trident suggest the Shiva iconography of a deity costume.2013-03-08A seated figure with long dark hair and a red bindi on the forehead sits on an ornate, cushioned dais in front of a large gilded, embossed backdrop. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless top, dark maroon-brown skirt-style cloth, and layered garlands of white flowers and rudraksha beads across the chest and down the legs. His left arm rests on the knee while his right hand reaches to hold a silver-toned microphone stand topped with a rounded mic head. Ceremonial gold-embossed fabric and a teal patterned cloth frame the dais, with a small decorated object at his feet.2013-04-06March 08 20132013-03-08A performer stands on a raised platform in front of an ornate gilded arch lit in red and green. The figure has long dark hair, a red-painted face with a forehead mark, and wears a red and green draped garment with a beaded necklace of red and green beads and a leopard-print blouse. The right hand holds a silver trident with a red cloth tied to it, and the left hand rests on the hip. Striped cloth and flowers are visible at the base of the platform. The appearance of this figure is consistent with the a person cues of long swept hair and ornate costume, presented as a role-play or deity-style portrayal of Shiva with trident.2013-03-08September 15 20122012-09-15March 16 20132013-03-16September 17 20122012-09-17A seated man with long dark hair and a vertical tilak with a dot on his forehead sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne-like seat, eyes closed and smiling. He wears a reddish-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border, a leopard-print undershirt, a heavy gold-coloured necklace of beads, and beaded bangles on his wrists and ankles. He holds a rope-like cord in his hands. A silver-and-metal staff with bells stands beside him, and a glowing golden decorated backdrop fills the background. Appearance is consistent with the printed page label, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2014-08-02
