A performer on a stage stands with their back to the camera, dressed in a salmon-pink draped dhoti and a patterned leopard-print headband, with long black hair falling down the back. They hold a silver trident with a damaru drum hanging from its shaft in one hand, while the other hand rests on the hip. Behind them a large projected backdrop of bright orange and red flames fills the stage, and a leopard-print pedestal sits to the right. The setting resembles a staged dramatic performance rather than a temple ritual.

A figure seen from behind stands on a stage before a backdrop of large projected flames and dark smoke. The performer wears a leopard-print headband, long dark dreadlocks falling to the back, a rust-orange draped garment with a leopard-print sash, and beaded bracelets on the upper arm. The figure holds a silver trident with a decorated shaft and tassels, and a leopard-print seat with a tiger-striped cushion stands at left, reflected on a glossy stage floor. Pose and staging suggest a theatrical depiction of Shiva; the visible costume cues are a trident, dreadlocks and a leopard-print seat, but the identity of the person is not established from the image.2017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18 +1 copiesA stage performance photograph seen from behind.
