A photograph in dim red and green stage lighting shows a person with long dark hair and a tilak on the forehead, wearing a rudraksha mala and a rust-coloured garment, holding out an ornate silver trident with a bell-hung staff beside them. A golden decorative arch frames the left side against a dark draped curtain.

The figure has blue-green painted or lit skin, a tilak on the forehead, and long curly dark hair flowing back, with a rudraksha mala and bead bracelets. They hold a silver-gold trident (trishula) in the lower left foreground. Behind them a curved golden glowing arc and dark draped backdrop. A bare-shouldered sleeveless top with a red sash. This looks like a theatrical depiction of Shiva; no clear identification of a specific person is made.2012-09-20September 26 20122012-09-26September 09 20122012-09-09A man stands on a stage lit with green and red light, in front of an ornate green arch with raised scalloped panels. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti or wrap over a bare upper body, a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, and matching rudraksha bands on his upper arms. He holds a silver trident in one hand while the other rests on his hip, and a dark star-field backdrop fills the background. The swept-back long hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha adornments and trident give the performer a Shiva-like appearance. Appearance-based cues are distinctive enough to suggest a person in this staged image.2012-09-24October 04 20122012-10-04
