A dim stage lit in blue-violet light shows a single figure standing near the centre, holding a tall trident with a crossbar, with smoke or mist rising behind. The figure wears a reddish-orange draped cloth, a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body with decorative adornments, in a Shiva-themed performance setting. Overhead rigging and stage lights hang above. In the foreground, audience members are visible at the bottom edge, several wearing orange head coverings, some with hands folded in namaste. Appearance-based probable candidate: the figure matches cues of distinctive adornments and trident, but the face and full presentation are too small and dark to confirm.

A dim stage lit by bluish haze shows a single figure standing in a spotlight, holding a tall silver trident with a rounded head and wearing a short orange-red garment with a bead necklace and an ornate headpiece. Foreground silhouettes include two people in saffron and orange robes, one with a raised camera, and below them a dense audience with many orange turbans and white clothing. The figure appears to be a depiction of Shiva as a costumed performer rather than an identifiable individual; the scene suggests a large staged darshan event.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16A standing figure on a dark stage is lit by two converging white spotlight beams against a violet haze.

The figure holds a tall staff or trident-like object upright beside the body and is partly silhouetted in haze, with a faint shape in a flowing garment. The stage floor is reflective and a low railing runs along the front edge. The figure is too dim and backlit for reliable appearance cues, so the identity is unsure and the role is a performer on stage.2017-12-16A man stands barefoot on a stage under purple and blue stage lights with haze.
