He wears a rust-orange draped garment, rudraksha bracelets and armlets, and holds a large silver trident in one hand while the other rests on his hip. Behind him a backdrop of bright red and orange flames fills the scene, and a leopard-print and tiger-striped seat stands to his left on a reflective stage floor.2017-09-18A performer stands on a stage with his back to the camera, dressed as Shiva in a peach-orange draped dhoti and a leopard-print headband. Long dark matted locks fall down his back, and he holds a silver trident with a tall central prong in his right hand while the other hand rests on his hip. A leopard-print seat or platform sits to his left, and large flame-patterned backdrop projections glow red and orange behind him, with haze in the air. A rudraksha-style bead armlet is visible on his upper arm. No a person cues are clearly visible from this angle, so the identity is uncertain.2017-09-18A figure seen from behind stands on a stage before a backdrop of large projected flames and dark smoke. The performer wears a leopard-print headband, long dark dreadlocks falling to the back, a rust-orange draped garment with a leopard-print sash, and beaded bracelets on the upper arm. The figure holds a silver trident with a decorated shaft and tassels, and a leopard-print seat with a tiger-striped cushion stands at left, reflected on a glossy stage floor. Pose and staging suggest a theatrical depiction of Shiva; the visible costume cues are a trident, dreadlocks and a leopard-print seat, but the identity of the person is not established from the image.2017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18September 18 20172017-09-18A performer on a stage stands with their back to the camera, dressed in a salmon-pink draped dhoti and a patterned leopard-print headband, with long black hair falling down the back.
