Behind him a large projected backdrop shows a forested waterfall landscape with cascading falls and spotted deer grazing near rocks. Two audience members are partly visible in the lower foreground, one holding a camera. The scene resembles a staged avatar or cultural performance with a deity-like figure.2017-12-16A performer stands alone on a stage in an orange-red dhoti and a matching draped cloth, with a gold waist ornament and red rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. He holds a tall golden trident and wears a headband, with a painted forehead mark. Behind him a large projected backdrop shows a waterfall cascading down a rocky green cliff, with a small herd of deer grazing below. White spotlight beams cut diagonally across the dark stage, and a red-and-green stage floor reflects the lights. This appears to be a staged theatrical performance rather than a gathering of devotees.2017-12-16
