A photograph of a single figure standing on a raised platform inside an ornate temple-style set with a large ornamental golden-green arch framing the figure. The figure has long dark hair, a red bindi, a leopard-print waist cloth over dark skirt-like cloth, and holds a trident (trishul) upright in one hand. Colourful painted deity figures and pillars surround the set, and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands at the lower right. Printed copyright text overlays the lower right. Appearance-based, the figure is a probable candidate for a person, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so identity is uncertain.

He wears a bare upper torso with orange-red drapery over one shoulder, a leopard-print patterned wrap, and a long strand of beaded necklaces and rudraksha-style malas across his chest. He wears bangles on his wrists and armbands, holds a trident-like staff in one hand, and rests his other hand on his hip. Two tall brass oil lamps stand on either side of the ring. The costume and staging suggest a theatrical or devotional performance tableau rather than a ritual setting.2012-09-24September 15 20122012-09-15March 26 20132013-03-26September 16 20122012-09-16A man stands on a raised platform under green stage lighting, in front of a large golden arch with embossed bead-like patterns and a red-pink sunset backdrop.

He holds a silver trident (trishul) in one hand and rests the other hand on his hip. Brass oil lamps stand on either side of the stage. The scene reads as a ceremonial stage presentation.2012-09-15March 26 20132013-03-26September 24 20122012-09-24April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesA photograph of a man standing on a raised stage in front of an ornate circular red and gold frame lit with green and red light.
