A performer dressed as a Shiva-like deity stands on a stage before large ornate gold arches with repoussé floral and scroll patterns. He wears saffron-orange garments, a rudraksha mala draped across the chest and waist, bells sewn on the cords, rudraksha armbands and a silver trident in his left hand. Long dark hair falls to his shoulders and a red tilak marks his forehead. A dark backdrop and pink drape frame the scene. The photo is watermarked and the page indicates a 2012 Inner Awakening session, but the figure appears to be a costumed performer rather than a clearly identifiable person.
