A man dressed as Shiva stands in blue stage lighting against a tiled brick wall. He wears a crescent moon in his matted hair, horizontal tripundra marks with a bindi on his forehead, layered rudraksha-style malas, and a leopard-print wrap around his waist and shoulder. Beaded armbands and bracelets are visible, and he holds a tall trident with a leopard-print cloth tied to its shaft. A tall trident-like staff rises at the left edge. The figure is a costumed performer portraying the deity rather than a deity murti, and the photograph is part of a Mahasadashivoham event set. No readable name appears in the scene.
