Photograph of a performer seen from behind on a stage, dressed as a deity in rust-red draped dhoti-style garments and a sleeveless bodice, with a gold waist belt and ankle bells. Long dark braided hair is tied up with a red braid and a beaded band, and the figure holds a tall gold trident with the right hand while the left hand rests on the hip. Magenta and purple stage lighting falls on a backdrop showing a glowing planetary globe, with white flower arrangements along the stage edge.

He wears an elaborate braided and jewelled headdress, a white tripundra mark on his forehead, a beaded necklace, and a rudraksha-style mala at his neck. Behind him a large glowing LED backdrop shows a luminous planetary sphere against a dark starry sky with pink-lit clouds. The figure is dressed as a Shiva-like deity form rather than in ordinary ascetic clothing.2018-04-30 +1 copiesApril 07 20182018-04-07 +1 copiesDecember 16 20172017-12-16A man performs on a stage, dressed in a costume evoking the Hindu deity Shiva: a rudraksha-bead crown with a silver crescent, rudraksha malas and matching bead bracelets and anklets, a rust-red draped garment with a leopard-print wrap, and a silver trident raised in his right hand with a small drum hanging from it. A vibrant red and blue light backdrop with starry points fills the background. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central performer in the costume, identified by the performance cues of rudraksha crown and mala, reddish-saffron attire and the trident.2018-03-31December 16 20172017-12-16A performer on a stage seen from behind, dressed as a Shiva-style figure.
