He holds a silver trident in his left hand and rests his right hand on his hip, smiling. He wears a white forehead band, red markings on his face and arms, a red-orange dhoti-style wrap, a rudraksha-bead and bell-ornament belt and chest garland, and a white bead necklace with a dark pendant. Only one person is visible; the scene appears to be a stage tableau rather than a devotional seat, and no reliable identification of the performer is made from appearance.2012-08-27A photograph of a performer standing on an ornate golden throne with a large circular gilded frame behind, set against a purple and pink starry backdrop. The figure has long dark hair, smiling, with a red and yellow body decoration, rudraksha-style bead armbands and a long beaded garland. They wear a leopard-print shawl over an orange-red dhoti and hold a silver trident in one hand while the other rests on the hip. Barefoot on the throne platform, the figure is a costumed person posed in a Shiva-themed tableau, not a deity murti. Lit with stage-style colour lighting.2012-09-08
