A figure stands on a dark stage lit by green and yellow spotlights and overhead stage lights. The figure is a statue-like depiction with gold-toned skin, a gold ornate necklace, a chain-like collar, bangles and a dark crown-like headpiece, holding a tall golden trident aloft with one arm. Behind is a dim stage backdrop. No physical people are visible among the audience; the figure is a sculpted or costumed depiction rather than a living person, and the scene is a stage performance display.

He wears a gold-coloured bodice with layered rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, rust-orange draped dhoti, gold armbands and ankle bands, and a crescent ornament in his hair. Bright green and white spotlights illuminate the stage, with a large screen behind showing waterfall and animal imagery. The performer's appearance is consistent with a costumed Shiva depiction in a cultural performance, not clearly identifiable as a specific person, so identity remains uncertain.2017-12-16A figure in a stage costume stands centre-stage under green and yellow spotlights, holding a tall golden trident in his right hand. He wears a matted crown-like headdress, bare-chested with an ornate gold-toned torso covering, multiple rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, arm bands, and rust-orange dhoti-style draping. A large backdrop shows a painted mountain waterfall scene with deer. This appears to be a staged Shiva-themed performance rather than a ritual; the figure is a costumed performer, not identifiable from appearance.2017-12-16A man stands centre stage under green and yellow stage lights, holding a tall golden trident in his right hand and a small drum-like ritual object at his side.

He holds a tall golden trident with a damaru drum tied to its shaft, wears a crescent ornament in his hair, rudraksha mala necklaces, bangles on the upper arms and wrists, and rust-red dhoti-style lower garments with a gold waist sash. He stands with one hand on his hip, smiling, while a projected screen behind him shows a landscape with deer. No a person candidate is verifiably identified from appearance; the costume reads as a theatrical depiction of Shiva rather than a clearly identifiable person, so the figure is described by role as a performer.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16
