A lone performer stands in a spotlight on a dark stage, dressed as a Shiva figure in rust-red draped cloth with a wrapped shawl, a beaded necklace and a crown-like headpiece. He holds a long trident-tipped staff in his right hand and extends his left arm outward, with a small lit candle set on the stage floor beside him. Dark curtains and ornamental wooden panels frame the empty stage behind him.

August 10 20172017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10A single performer stands on a stage lit by a spotlight pool and blue beams fanning out from above. The figure wears an orange-brown wrap and a white turban-style headwrap, with a large beaded necklace and a trident held upright in one hand. The backdrop is a dark curtain, and the stage floor reflects the light. This appears to be a stage tableau or dramatic presentation rather than a ritual scene.2017-08-10 +1 copiesA single figure stands on a dimly lit stage under yellow spotlight beams that cut through the darkness above a dark red curtain. The figure wears a reddish-orange draped garment, a beaded necklace with rudraksha-style strands, armbands and a headband, and holds a tall trident (trishul) in one hand. Beside the figure is a small drum-shaped object and a glowing spot of light on the stage floor. The figure appears to be a statue or costumed depiction rather than a clearly identifiable living person, so no identity is asserted.2017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10 +1 copiesA performer stands alone on a dark stage holding a tall silver trident, its prongs catching the light, beneath yellow spotlight beams falling from above. He wears a saffron-orange draped garment with a gold-bordered wrap over one shoulder, layered beaded and rudraksha necklaces, a flower-and-bead garland, bangles, and a gold headband with a bun. The setting is a theatrical performance, with a red curtain above the dark backdrop.2017-08-10A performer stands alone on a dark stage lit by blue spotlight beams, dressed as Shiva: a golden headband, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace, a saffron-orange dhoti with a draped orange shawl, and bangles on the arm. He holds a tall trident staff with one hand and rests the other on his hip. The staging suggests a theatrical or dance-drama presentation rather than a ritual event. The figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate's presentation but is not conclusive, so the identity is left uncertain.2017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10A single performer stands centred in a spotlit circle on a dark stage with blue light beams fanning upward behind him. He wears a patterned head wrap, a dark draped garment with rust-coloured cloth at the waist, and a large rudraksha mala across his chest, and he raises a golden trident with his right hand while his left arm extends outward. The scene resembles a theatrical portrayal of a deity form rather than a ritual setting.2017-08-10
