A single performer stands on a stage lit by a spotlight pool and blue beams fanning out from above. The figure wears an orange-brown wrap and a white turban-style headwrap, with a large beaded necklace and a trident held upright in one hand. The backdrop is a dark curtain, and the stage floor reflects the light. This appears to be a stage tableau or dramatic presentation rather than a ritual scene.

He holds a tall trident staff with one hand and rests the other on his hip. The staging suggests a theatrical or dance-drama presentation rather than a ritual event. The figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate's presentation but is not conclusive, so the identity is left uncertain.2017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10A single figure stands on a dimly lit stage under yellow spotlight beams that cut through the darkness above a dark red curtain. The figure wears a reddish-orange draped garment, a beaded necklace with rudraksha-style strands, armbands and a headband, and holds a tall trident (trishul) in one hand. Beside the figure is a small drum-shaped object and a glowing spot of light on the stage floor. The figure appears to be a statue or costumed depiction rather than a clearly identifiable living person, so no identity is asserted.2017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10
