A long-haired figure in a leopard-print garment layered with rudraksha beads and bells stands holding a silver trident, arms extended forward toward a man in a white t-shirt with his hands raised near the figure's face. A bald man in orange clothing kneels at lower centre with hands joined, and a man in white kurta stands at right background. A white air conditioning unit and dark curtain form the backdrop. The long-haired figure is a possible a person candidate, identified only by appearance cues: long swept hair, rudraksha garland, trident and ornate leopard-print clothing, so the label is appearance-based and uncertain.2012-04-16April 16 20122012-04-16
