A standing figure in a black turban with a small crescent ornament and red-brown dress with gold borders and a leopard-print wrap stands on a tiger-skin-draped platform before a large sculpted panel of a golden-faced multi-armed deity holding a trident and drum. He wears heavy gold necklaces, red-beaded bracelets on his arms and wrists, and a silver trishul stands at his left. Sculpted carved figures flank the wall. The figure has a tilak on the forehead and appears to be a person in saffron-red ceremonial attire with a rudraksha-style bead armlet and ornate gold necklaces, presenting on stage as a sannyasi in Shiva-themed dress.

May 04 20162016-05-04A man stands on a raised platform before a large golden-faced relief of a multi-armed deity, shown as a deity murti carved in the wall behind him. He wears a black turban-style headwrap with a white forehead mark, a maroon garment with a leopard-print cloth wrapped at the waist, and heavy gold necklaces with a pendant. Rudraksha bracelets are on his wrists and arms. He holds a silver trident with a twisted white staff, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the platform edge. The scene is lit warmly against the carved backdrop. Whether this man is the a person depicted in the page's context is uncertain, and the appearance cues alone do not establish it.2016-05-04 +1 copiesMay 04 20162016-05-04 +1 copiesMay 04 20162016-05-04 +1 copiesMay 04 20162016-05-04 +1 copiesA standing man on a red-edged stage holds a silver trishul with a striped white-and-pink staff in his right hand.
