A photograph taken from behind of a single performer on a stage, walking away from the camera. The performer has long dark hair falling down the back and a thick reddish-maroon braided band wrapped around the head. He wears a maroon-red draped garment with a red shawl over one shoulder, a jewelled waist belt, and ornate silver anklets over bare feet. He holds a tall silver trident in the right hand. Behind him is a large glowing white and pink backlit screen and a wooden panelled door, with stage lights creating a purple tone.

He holds a tall silver trident with crescent-tipped prongs and a silver damaru-like drum in the other hand, one hand on his hip. Behind him swirling red and orange flames and smoke fill a dark stage backdrop. The figure appears to be a performer in a deity costume rather than a verifiable identification of any named person, and the scene conveys a dramatic stage performance with fire effects.2017-09-18August 10 20172017-08-10May 14 20162016-05-14A performer seen from behind on a dark stage, wearing a rust-orange draped garment, leopard-print headband and dark dreadlocks falling down the back, with bangles and armlets. The figure holds a silver trident with a tall shaft and a wrapped section, while flames in orange and red light up the backdrop on both sides.2017-09-18A figure seen from behind on a dark stage stands before large animated flames. The figure wears a rust-orange draped garment, a leopard-print headband, and rudraksha bracelets on the upper arm and wrist, with long dark dreadlocked hair falling down the back. The right hand grips a tall silver trident, and the left hand rests on the hip. A zebra-striped or animal-skin cloth lies at the bottom edge of the frame, and spotlight beams cut through the haze above. Appearance-based cues of long hair, rudraksha adornment and a trident suggest a person in a staged performance, but the figure's face is not visible and the identity remains uncertain.2017-09-18A performer stands on a stage seen from behind, facing a large blazing fire backdrop with orange and red flames. The figure has long dark hair with a crown-like headpiece, wears peach-coloured dhoti-style drapery and arm bands, and holds a silver trident aloft in the right hand while the left hand rests on the hip. Before the fire stands a leopard-print pedestal or throne. Stage lights beam down from above. The scene resembles a Shiva-themed stage presentation rather than a clear ritual.2017-09-18February 04 20162016-02-04 +1 copiesA performer dressed as Shiva stands on a stage between dark red curtains, seen from behind. He wears a headband with a crescent ornament, long hair, armbands, a draped wrap, and pale pink dhoti-style trousers. He holds a tall silver trident in his right hand and rests his left hand on his hip. Behind him a large bright fire burst fills the backdrop, and a leopard-print cube sits on the stage floor.2017-09-18
