A dim stage lit by bluish haze shows a single figure standing in a spotlight, holding a tall silver trident with a rounded head and wearing a short orange-red garment with a bead necklace and an ornate headpiece. Foreground silhouettes include two people in saffron and orange robes, one with a raised camera, and below them a dense audience with many orange turbans and white clothing. The figure appears to be a depiction of Shiva as a costumed performer rather than an identifiable individual; the scene suggests a large staged darshan event.

A dim stage lit in blue-violet light shows a single figure standing near the centre, holding a tall trident with a crossbar, with smoke or mist rising behind. The figure wears a reddish-orange draped cloth, a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body with decorative adornments, in a Shiva-themed performance setting. Overhead rigging and stage lights hang above. In the foreground, audience members are visible at the bottom edge, several wearing orange head coverings, some with hands folded in namaste. Appearance-based probable candidate: the figure matches cues of distinctive adornments and trident, but the face and full presentation are too small and dark to confirm.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16A performer stands alone on a stage under teal and blue spotlights with haze in the air.

The figure has long dark hair with a crown-like ornament, a red beaded necklace, bare upper body with orange-gold draped dhoti, and holds a tall trident with a drum-shaped element at the centre. Two small silhouetted audience heads are visible at lower left. The figure is a depiction, possibly a performer or costumed statue, and the appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity.2017-12-16A figure stands alone at the centre of a dim stage, lit by a red-pink haze and spotlights hanging from the rig above. The figure, seen from a distance, holds a tall trident and appears bare-chested with a dhoti-like wrap.

A single performer in red robes and a dark turban-like head covering stands centre stage holding a tall trident, one hand on his hip. Audience members are silhouetted in the foreground, many in white clothes. Red curtains frame the stage edges and a truss of stage lights hangs above. A dimmed illuminated screen with blue and colourful graphics sits behind the performer.

The figure holds a tall staff or trident-like object upright beside the body and is partly silhouetted in haze, with a faint shape in a flowing garment. The stage floor is reflective and a low railing runs along the front edge. The figure is too dim and backlit for reliable appearance cues, so the identity is unsure and the role is a performer on stage.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16
