A man stands barefoot on a red-draped platform in front of a large gilded circular frame, a stage backdrop. He wears an orange saffron wrap, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, a white forehead band, a beaded necklace and bead bracelets, and holds a silver trident in one hand while his other hand rests on his hip. Beside him are brass oil lamps, a silver staff and a sword-like implement, with a painted sunset and crescent moon behind. Appearance-based cues are a long swept-back hairstyle, saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style mala, so this is a person figure shown on stage in a ceremonial pose.2012-09-24July 17 20122012-07-17August 27 20122012-08-27A man stands on a raised dark red throne with a tiger-striped cloth draped over its base, in front of a large ornate gold circular backdrop with embossed relief panels.
