A young female performer in an orange-red sari-style garment stands in a temple-like shrine with gold arched framing. She wears layered rudraksha malas, a gold choker, jhumka earrings, bangles and a tilak on her forehead, and holds a curved sickle-like blade in her left hand and a staff hung with small bells in her right. Behind her, a deity murti with a crown and red-and-white garlands stands in a gilded niche, next to a brass trishul. The warm orange lighting and gold ornamentation dominate the scene.

A young woman stands on a stage in front of a golden arched backdrop draped with orange fabric, wearing a red-orange dress with layered red-brown rudraksha malas, a gold choker and earrings, and a forehead tilak. She holds a curved blade in one hand and a tall staff hung with bells in the other, in a dramatic reddish stage light. Behind her, a painted image of a deity and a golden lamp stand are visible, and a partially visible person stands at the left edge holding a paper. The scene resembles a staged dramatic performance rather than a clearly identified ritual.2017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13A photograph of a single standing figure in a dramatic red-lit setting before a large ornate golden circular backdrop. The figure wears an orange-red saffron-toned garment draped over the shoulder, layered rudraksha malas, a wide ceremonial gold collar necklace, gold earrings, a nose ring, and a tilak with red markings on the forehead. In the right hand is a long trident-like staff with bells, and in the left hand a slender rod, with beaded bracelets on both wrists. Behind is a red silk drape and gold-embossed circular frame. This is a ceremonial or dramatic presentation rather than a readable event photo; no identity is established from appearance, so a person is unsure.2017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13A single person stands in front of a large ornate golden circular backdrop lit in red and orange. The figure wears a flowing orange-red garment draped over the shoulder, layered gold necklaces, a wide gold choker, dangling earrings, a nose ring, and multiple strands of dark rudraksha beads, with a forehead tilak and a gold headpiece. They hold a slender rod in the left hand and a tall dark staff with metal bells and a pointed tip in the right, with rudraksha bracelets on both wrists. The posed, theatrical setting resembles a staged costume portrait rather than a ritual event. Appearance-based identity is uncertain, so no specific person is named.2017-08-13A young woman stands on a red-lit striped floor in front of a golden shrine, holding a tall dark staff with brass bands and a trident-like top. She wears an orange-red sari-style garment, layered rudraksha and bead necklaces, a gold choker and a gold waist ornament, with a tilak on her forehead. Behind her stands a silver-coloured deity murti with a crown, beside a golden trident on a stand and a decorated canopy.2017-08-13A photograph of a young girl standing in front of an ornate gilded arch with turquoise and golden surfaces. She wears an orange-saffron garment, layered rudraksha malas, a heavy gold necklace and matching gold earrings, and a gold forehead ornament over a white tilak. Her hair is long and loose, and she looks toward the camera. A saffron cloth draped behind her and a bokeh of warm lights complete the setting. Her presentation is that of a young ascetic-styled figure in ceremonial dress; no identity is asserted from appearance.2017-08-13
