A dim, smoky stage shows a figure with long dark hair seen from behind, wearing a dark cloth and gold-toned armband and bangles, holding a silver trident (trishul) upright in one hand. Behind is a sculpted stone wall with carved figures, and thick haze fills the lower frame. Green stage lighting appears at the left edge. The figure's full identity is not visible, so the appearance is uncertain.

A smoky stage scene in warm orange and amber light, with green-lit foliage at the left and right edges. A tall, dim figure in a dark robe stands in front of a large carved stone backdrop depicting a multi-armed Shiva-form deity murti holding a trident. The fog-like smoke spills across the floor in the foreground. At the bottom, the rear of a phone held up by a spectator is visible. The figure is not clearly visible enough for an appearance-based identification, so the a person field is unsure.2016-05-04May 04 20162016-05-04A hazy, smoke-filled stage scene lit in warm amber and green. A large figure stands behind the smoke, partly obscured, with a long black jatta-style hair mass visible and a bright silver trishul held upright at the centre. The figure's face is only faintly visible and appears to be a statue or deity murti rather than a clear person; the shape resembles a Shiva-form image. Smoke drifts across the lower foreground. The trishul is the clearest object in the frame.2016-05-04Dim, smoke-filled photograph of a large carved deity murti with multiple arms, partly visible above a silver trishul with twisted handle held upright in the foreground. Yellowish haze drifts across the lower frame, with dark foliage at the right edge. A small flame glows near the murti's base. No physical people are visible in the frame.2016-05-04A dimly lit stage scene shows a single figure seen from behind, wearing a long black hair covering or headpiece that falls down the back and a red-orange skirt or dhoti with a patterned top. The figure holds a silver trishul upright in one hand while the other hand rests at the hip, standing in front of a large carved stone relief of a multi-armed deity with ornate ornaments. Green stage lighting and haze surround the scene. The figure is not visible in full detail, so no appearance-based identification is made; the figure is described by role and clothing only.2016-05-04A dim stage at night with smoke drifting across it. Behind the haze stands a large golden-lit sculptural figure of a multi-armed deity murti, with a crown, a long necklace, and a black dhoti-like cloth. It holds a silver trishul, a trident, and a bull figure rests at the base. Green-lit palm plants frame both sides. A small lamp glows in the lower foreground. No living person is clearly visible; the figure is a statue, and no one is identified.2016-05-04A photograph in a smoky, golden-lit stage setting shows one standing man holding a silver trishul with a tall black hair bun and a leopard-print lower garment. He wears layered beaded and gold-toned necklaces and a rudraksha-style pendant, with bangles on his wrists. Behind him, a large gilded deity murti with multiple arms and a crown looms over the stage, flanked by carved figures and green foliage. The lighting and haze create a dramatic ritual atmosphere.
