A photograph from behind of a long-haired figure in a rust-orange wrap standing barefoot on a red-carpeted stage, holding a silver trident aloft toward a gilded golden throne (peetha) with a red cushion. Behind the throne a large painted image of a multi-armed deity with a crescent moon and crown is framed by a golden leafy arch and ornate gold pillars. Gold kalasha-style lamp stands and a small wooden stool with a lit candle sit at the sides, and dark red curtains enclose the stage. The figure's hair is long and dark, wrapped with a band at the top, with a beaded bracelet visible on the arm.

A figure with long dark braided hair seen from behind stands on a red-carpeted stage holding a silver trident-topped staff with a ceremonial ornament, wearing a rust-brown wrap and bangles. Before a large golden throne with red cushions, a painted deity murti with multiple raised hands and a crescent moon in its hair stands beneath gold foliage. Golden pillars carved with figures frame the stage, flanked by brass lamps and a tall golden trident. A small side table holds a lit lamp. Red curtains form the backdrop. The figure is not a clear candidate for identification from appearance alone, so the role is described as a standing devotee or sannyasi with a staff.2016-11-20November 27 20162016-11-27 +1 copiesA photograph of a man standing alone on a stage before a golden throne with red cushions, a large painted deity murti of Shiva with four arms and crescent moon above the head behind him.
