The figure wears a leopard-print wrap skirt, a beaded or chained gold necklace with multiple strands, and has a red-painted face and bare arms. Behind is a large illuminated green-and-gold arched frame with red lighting washing over the figure. Small offering items sit on a striped cloth table at the bottom. One person is visible.

A man stands centred inside a large glowing green ring-shaped frame on a stage, with a dramatic red and pink sky backdrop with stars behind him. 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 24 20122012-09-24October 09 20122012-10-09September 24 20122012-09-24September 24 20122012-09-24September 16 20122012-09-16September 24 20122012-09-24September 24 20122012-09-24October 11 20122012-10-11September 17 20122012-09-17September 24 20122012-09-24A performer dressed as a Shiva-like deity stands in front of a glowing green ornate arch on a stage.
