A dimly lit stage shrouded in blue-purple haze and smoke. A large backdrop shows a shadowy, dark-skinned figure with a glowing face and a silver trishul held upright. Green-lit plants flank the stage edges, and a small string of lights hangs at top right. In the foreground, a dark silhouette of a head and shoulders of a single audience member is visible at the bottom. The scene evokes a darshan moment at a Shuddhadvaitam program.

Two tall golden pillars topped with trident-shaped motifs frame the scene, and a hanging cluster of gold leaves with string lights sits above. A large backdrop shows a faint figure with a trident, possibly a deity murti or painted image, too dim to read clearly. In the foreground, a silhouetted video camera on a tripod is visible at the bottom edge. No clearly visible person is on stage, and no identifiable a person candidate is present; the page's a person flag does not establish appearance.2016-05-04May 21 20152015-05-21May 04 20162016-05-04A dim stage lit in violet and blue fog, with two large dark trishul (trident) forms standing on either side in front of a backdrop.

The scene resembles a theatrical darshan staging with dramatic smoke and lighting.2016-05-04A dimly lit, blue-toned photograph of a dark figure standing behind several tall ceremonial tridents, one prominent trident raised high in the centre. The figure wears a wrap-like garment and a beaded necklace, with a dark cloth wrapped on the head. Smoke or haze fills the dim hall, and smaller tridents stand at left and right. A faint logo appears at upper left. The scene suggests a darshan or ceremonial display, with the raised trident as the focal object. Whether the figure is the a person is uncertain given the poor visibility of the face and clothing.2015-05-21A dimly lit stage at night, washed in deep violet and blue light and heavy haze.
