Stage photograph at night with smoke haze and warm gold and green lighting. A large golden deity murti of Shiva with multiple arms stands on a rectangular backdrop, and gilded trident-shaped pillars frame the stage. A single standing figure in the foreground holds a silver trishul and wears a black cap, a red top, and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with a pendant; the figure is in front of the murti and appears in an ornate pose. Potted green plants and a camera on a tripod sit at the lower edge of the stage.

May 04 20162016-05-04May 04 20162016-05-04A photograph of a stage at night filled with haze, lit with warm amber and green light. Behind the stage hangs a large golden-toned sculpted deity murti with multiple arms holding objects, a crown-like headdress and a rudraksha-style necklace. In front of it stands a single standing figure wearing a black cap-like headpiece, a long beaded mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and a patterned sequined-looking garment, holding a silver trishul upright in one hand. Potted green plants frame the stage and a camera is visible at the bottom edge. Appearance cues fit a probable candidate, but the face and stance are not clear enough for a confident identification.2016-05-04May 04 20162016-05-04Photograph of a staged stage scene in green and gold lighting. A standing man in the centre wears a black turban, a rust-red and gold top, a long gold necklace with a large pendant, and a leopard-print lower garment. He holds a silver trishul in one hand and rests the other on his hip, smiling. Behind him is a large relief sculpture of a multi-armed deity with a tiger-skin draped figure below, flanked by carved lion-like figures. Green potted plants frame both sides, and yellow smoke drifts across the red-edged stage floor. The man is presented in the role of a performer or devotee on stage, and the setting suggests the Shuddhadvaitam program; the page identifies him as a person, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm that, so identity is unsure.2016-05-04May 04 20162016-05-04 +1 copiesMay 04 20162016-05-04 +1 copiesMay 04 20162016-05-04A night stage event under a draped tent ceiling with large gold-coloured trishul sculptures flanking the stage.
