A performer on a stage wears a bright orange turban with a blue and gold brooch and a red bindi on the forehead. He has an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, a white and gold-bordered dhoti or pancha worn with a beaded rudraksha-style waist belt, gold armlets and bangles, and layered beaded necklaces. He smiles and gestures with both hands, one raised at the waist, in a dance-like pose against a pale pink wall with a dark curtain at the right edge.

September 06 20112011-09-06A smiling man stands on a stage in front of a pale pink backdrop, wearing a bright orange turban with a small blue and gold emblem at the front and a red bindi on his forehead. He wears an orange draped upper garment with a sheer orange scarf over one shoulder, a white and gold-bordered dhoti-style lower wrap, a beaded red-and-gold waist belt, and multiple strands of red and gold beads around his neck. Gold-and-beaded bangles are on his wrists and upper arms. His posture is relaxed, one hand resting at his hip, and a dark curtain edges the right side of the frame. The rendered look suggests a costumed stage performance rather than a ritual setting, and the identity of the performer cannot be established from appearance alone.2011-09-06A smiling man stands on a stage against a pale pink wall with a dark curtain at right.
