A photograph of a man on a stage in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He tilts his head back with eyes closed and a slight smile, one hand on his hip and the other gripping a silver trident with a red stone and a braided cord. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment with dense layers of dark rudraksha malas across the chest, waist and arms, plus a black cord at the neck. A silver-and-gold ornate shawl-like drape frames him. The face and presentation are consistent with a person appearance, marked by the flowing dark hair, the trident and the rudraksha adornments, shown in a performing or ceremonial pose.

He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment over orange dhoti-style trousers, with long dark hair, a dark rudraksha mala draped across his chest, rudraksha bands on his upper arms and wrists, and a thick rudraksha belt at the waist. In his left hand he holds a silver trident with a pink tassel, and his right hand rests on his hip. The gilded frame behind him is heavily embossed with decorative patterns. The visible fact is a standing figure in ceremonial costume; the appearance-based cues of long swept hair, rudraksha malas and ornate dress suggest a person in a role of ceremonial figure holding a trident, and this is a photograph rather than a painting or screen.2012-04-21A standing man with long dark hair and eyes closed, smiling, holds a silver trident with a tied red cord and bow-like tines in his right hand.
