A performer in a Shiva-style costume stands on a raised stage before an ornate golden arch lit with red and green light. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders and a multi-strand beaded garland hangs at the chest. The figure wears a red-and-green draped cloth and a patterned bodice, and holds a trident-like staff in the right hand, while the left hand rests on the hip. Behind the stage is a decorative backdrop with bell motifs, and a tiger-striped cloth covers a platform in the foreground. The lighting tints the figure in red and green tones. The figure is a depiction in costume rather than a clearly identified individual, so this is not a confirmed candidate.

He wears a draped red-orange cloth, a leopard-print sleeveless top, a wide belt, and layered red and white rudraksha-style malas.

Warm red and green stage lighting and strings of marigold garlands frame the scene. a person: the long swept hair, saffron-toned draped clothing, rudraksha malas and trident are consistent with the page's claim, so the figure is identified as a person with probable confidence and placed on the throne as a seated presence.2012-09-20March 08 20132013-03-08
