A person stands on a raised platform inside an ornate shrine, framed by a large ornamental copper-toned arch. The figure wears a striped tiger-print garment with a red lower wrap, long dark hair, a layered beaded necklace and bangles, and holds a trident upright in one hand. Behind are a golden throne-like backdrop and painted pillars. A tiger-skin motif appears on the platform. The figure's appearance is not clear enough to attribute identity from cues alone, so this is described by role as a performer in a shrine tableau with a tiger motif.2013-11-18November 18 20132013-11-18A performer stands on a raised stage inside an ornate temple-style set, dressed as a fierce goddess form. She wears a tiger-striped patterned top, red trousers, long dark hair, a layered beaded necklace and bangles, and holds a long trident in one hand while smiling. Behind her is a large repoussé-metal arch and a gilded shrine niche with carved pillars, painted panels and brass lamps. Other figures with multiple arms are partially visible at the sides. Her appearance does not clearly match the page's a person claim, so the person is described by role only.2013-11-18A figure in a tiger-striped costume with a red lower garment stands on a decorated pedestal in front of a large ornate silver-toned arch, holding a trident aloft.

Beside the figure stand an ornate gold throne-like seat and a small brass oil lamp; a red and patterned cloth covers the base. Two decorative deity statues with multiple arms flank the scene.

The figure has long dark hair, smiling, with a red and yellow body decoration, rudraksha-style bead armbands and a long beaded garland. They wear a leopard-print shawl over an orange-red dhoti and hold a silver trident in one hand while the other rests on the hip. Barefoot on the throne platform, the figure is a costumed person posed in a Shiva-themed tableau, not a deity murti. Lit with stage-style colour lighting.2012-09-08A standing figure on a stage in front of an ornate golden arch with embossed floral and scroll patterns and green and red lighting.
