Behind him a large painted backdrop shows a four-armed Shiva figure seated in meditation, holding a trident, a damaru drum and other objects, with a crescent moon above. Painted sages in orange robes sit in meditation among tree trunks and vines on both sides, and a blue figure reclines at the lower left. A gold trident stands at the left edge, with a small brass lamp and a petal-strewn cloth in front of the throne. The throne-seated man is an appearance-based candidate in a photograph of a stage setting, with no clear printed name or caption.2016-07-30March 31 20182018-03-31
