A performer dressed as Lord Shiva stands on a dark stage under blue lighting, holding a silver trident with a leopard-print cloth wrapped around its shaft. He wears a tall matted topknot with a crescent ornament, white tripundra markings on his forehead, a long rudraksha mala across his chest, leopard-print drapery over dark wine-coloured garments, and beaded armlets. One hand rests on his hip. Behind him is a wooden panelled door. The figure is a costumed performer rather than a deity murti, and no a person identification is made from appearance.

He wears a tiered hair crown with a crescent ornament, layered rudraksha malas across his chest, bangles on his arms and a leopard-print lower garment and wrap. He stands with one hand on his hip and smiles toward the camera. Only one person is visible. The image appears to be a stage costume depiction of Shiva rather than a clear appearance-based match for a person, so identity is uncertain.2018-03-31
