A performer dressed as a deity sits on a dark red throne-like seat within a large ornate circular arch with embossed metal-look panels. The figure wears a leopard-print sleeveless top, a green-and-brown patterned wrap, multiple beaded necklaces and bangles, and holds a long trident in one hand while the other rests on the arch. The face is painted green and warm orange and red stage lighting fills the background. Garlands of marigold and red flowers hang on pillars at either side. The costume and setting suggest a staged religious tableau rather than a devotee, with no identifiable deity murti beyond the trident and costume.2012-09-21A photograph of a single standing figure against a warm orange-red backdrop with a large embossed copper arch behind.
