A performer in a Kalabhairava-style costume stands before a large ornate golden circular frame on a dark stage backdrop lit with red and blue light. He holds a silver trident in his left hand and rests his right hand on his hip, smiling. He wears a white forehead band, red markings on his face and arms, a red-orange dhoti-style wrap, a rudraksha-bead and bell-ornament belt and chest garland, and a white bead necklace with a dark pendant. Only one person is visible; the scene appears to be a stage tableau rather than a devotional seat, and no reliable identification of the performer is made from appearance.

He wears a saffron-orange draped garment with a gold-edged border, rudraksha beads across his chest and waist, a white ceremonial necklace, and red armbands. He holds a silver trident in his left hand and rests his right hand on his hip. A white forehead band and a red mark appear on his forehead, and his long dark hair is loose. Red stage lighting covers the scene.2012-08-27A standing figure on an ornate gold throne stage under red and pink lighting holds a silver trident in his left hand while his right hand rests on his hip. He wears a rust-orange cloth draped over the shoulder and wrapped at the waist with a gold border, a white bead mala and a dark pendant around the neck, red rudraksha beads with brass cones across the chest and waist, and red beaded armbands and wrists. A white and red forehead marking adorns his face. Behind him a large gold arched backdrop frames the stage, with fruit and a cloth-draped low platform at the base. Swamiji (probable) is shown in a dramatic Shiva-like pose, with long dark hair, trident and rudraksha adornments, and the figure appears to be a live performer on stage rather than a depiction.2012-08-27September 09 20122012-09-09July 21 20122012-07-21September 09 20122012-09-09A man stands barefoot on a red-draped platform in front of a large gilded circular frame, a stage backdrop. He wears an orange saffron wrap, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, a white forehead band, a beaded necklace and bead bracelets, and holds a silver trident in one hand while his other hand rests on his hip. Beside him are brass oil lamps, a silver staff and a sword-like implement, with a painted sunset and crescent moon behind. Appearance-based cues are a long swept-back hairstyle, saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style mala, so this is a person figure shown on stage in a ceremonial pose.2012-09-24August 27 20122012-08-27August 27 20122012-08-27
