A photograph of a stage performance in a darkened hall, with a single performer standing centre stage under a wash of green, blue and red lights. The performer wears a bare-chested costume of reddish-brown skin tones with a loincloth and a crown-like headpiece, and holds a tall trident (trishul) upright beside him. Stage lights hang in rows overhead, haze fills the backdrop, and audience silhouettes and a seated camera operator are visible in the foreground, so the figure is a dramatised deity-style performer rather than an identifiable person.

A single performer stands centrally in a Shiva-like costume, with a dark-skinned body painted or costumed in copper tones, a crown-like headpiece, gold ornamental necklaces and a gold waist cloth, holding a golden trident. Rays of white and green light fan out from overhead lamps across the smoke-filled backdrop, and the audience is visible only as dark silhouettes in the foreground seating. The performer appears to be an actor portraying a deity, not a person identified as a person, so the a person field is set to unsure. Only the performer is a physical person in the scene, with the audience shown as blurred silhouettes.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16
