A man stands barefoot on a dark stage, holding a tall silver trident with a small damaru drum and a long patterned cloth hanging from it. He wears a leopard-print sash over the bare shoulder, a rust-orange draped dhoti and a gold-toned necklace, with a sindoor-like vertical mark and an ornate headpiece. Rows of brass oil lamps line the floor, and a backdrop of illuminated lattice panels glows behind him. The page identifies this as a person; the appearance cues of the central figure (ceremonial gold necklace, adornments, orange draped clothing) are consistent with that claim, so he is listed as a probable in-person candidate. The trident, leopard-print cloth and drum suggest a Shiva-themed presentation.
