November 25 20112011-11-25A child's hand-painted artwork held up to the camera by a person in a patterned sleeve. The painting on paper depicts Shiva as the cosmic father with blue skin, a topknot and hair swept by wind, a tilak on the forehead, a rudraksha-style necklace, and a yellow-and-orange draped cloth. He holds a golden trident with a flame at its top and a damaru drum hanging from it against a turquoise and blue background. The painting is captioned SHIVA with the words The cosmic father beneath. A small label at the top reads Nithyanandapedia, and a copyright line sits at the lower right.2012-04-09Close-up photograph of a white-painted metal trident (trishul) with a pointed central spike, ringed collars and two curved prongs, set against a blurred grey sky and dark green foliage.

The figure holds a tall trident with a fringed cloth hanging from its shaft, and has long hair falling down the back and a bare-shouldered upper body with a wrap at the waist. Its face is not visible, and no identity can be established from appearance. The scene resembles a staged theatrical presentation of a trident-bearing Shiva iconography.2017-12-12
