The figure holds a tall silver trident with a snake-like ornament near its head, wears a leopard-print top layered with green beaded necklaces, bangles and rudraksha-style strands, and a flowing red skirt. A vertical tilak mark is visible on the forehead, and the face is lit in green and red stage lighting. Only one person is present.2012-09-21A man stands on a raised stage in a warm red and green stage-lit setting, holding a tall silver trident (trishul) upright in his right arm. He has long dark hair, a red bindi, and a rudraksha mala around his neck, wearing a leopard-print sleeveless top, a dark patterned waist sash, and a red-and-cream dhoti. Behind him is a large ornate golden arched frame, with a red draped backdrop, marigold garlands and a dark red curved throne-like seat. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, and ceremonial adornments consistent with the page's description of a ceremonial stage appearance.2012-09-20A performer dressed as Lord Shiva stands on a dark draped platform in front of a large glowing arch with a metallic green-and-red rim. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment, a long layered rudraksha-style mala with chains and bells across the chest and waist, arm bands and a rust-orange dhoti. He holds a silver trident in his right hand, its prongs and crescent visible, while smiling toward the camera. Green and red stage lighting colours the scene. A vibhuti-style mark is on his forehead.2012-09-21A performer stands on a raised dais in front of a large curved arch of embossed copper-toned panels, lit in orange and green. He wears a leopard-print bodice layered with beaded necklaces, bells and dangling chains, a red-orange dhoti-style skirt, and bangles, and holds a green-lit trident in his right hand. His hair falls loose to the shoulders with a bindi on his forehead, and he is smiling. The costume is theatrical and appears staged for a deity-style tableau rather than a ritual puja, and the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confidently name a specific person.2012-09-21A photograph of a single performer standing on a stage in front of an ornate green and gold metallic arch lit with red and green light. The figure has long dark hair, a red-and-green leopard-print garment, red trousers, and multiple strands of green beaded necklaces. The figure holds a silver trident (trishula) upright in one hand. Small offerings in green and red sit on the platform at the base. The appearance is a costumed deity-style presentation, but the performer is not confidently identifiable from appearance alone, so no identity is asserted.2013-03-04 +1 copiesA performer in an elaborate costume stands in front of a large golden arched backdrop lit with green and orange stage light. She holds a silver trident in her left hand, wears a leopard-patterned bodice draped with beaded chains, dark rudraksha-style beaded strands, bangles on both arms, and a red-orange skirt. She stands on a dark red and black zebra-patterned seat or throne, with a bright red floor covering at the bottom. The styling reads as a costumed portrayal of a fierce goddess form rather than a clear identification of any deity. No other people are visible.2012-09-21March 04 20132013-03-04 +1 copiesA person in a costume performance stands on a red-draped stage before a large circular ornate arch, holding a green-lit trident aloft. The figure wears a patterned, animal-print sleeveless top with beaded necklaces and a flowing orange-red lower garment, with long dark hair. Behind is a carved stone-textured wall framed by marigold and red flower garlands hanging on pillars, lit in warm orange and green light. Appearance-based label: a person is not established here, as the figure's presentation shows only some cues and the pose is theatrical; identity is uncertain. The person is performing on a throne-like stage set.2012-09-21
