Rows of brass oil lamps stand on the stage floor at his feet, and a deep magenta curtain hangs at the right edge. The performer's role is a dance or theatrical role; a person appearance is ambiguous given the costume, adornments and hair, so the identity is uncertain.2017-12-18A man in a rust-red draped garment with gold-patterned sash and armlets walks barefoot across a stage.

He wears a deep maroon-red dhoti-style wrap and a matching shawl patterned with gold and cream designs, with bare arms and gold bangles, and a dark swept-back hairstyle with a small ornament at the crown. Behind him a large screen shows a grid of glowing flame-like lamp projections in gold and orange. Rows of brass oil lamps line the front of the stage, and a magenta-pink curtain hangs at the right edge. The figure is a single person; the presence of a person candidate is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-12-18A man stands centre stage in a reddish-maroon draped garment with silver embellished bodice and a jewelled forehead ornament in his dark hair, barefoot, facing the viewer. Behind him a large illuminated backdrop shows a grid of glowing amber and red lamp-like lights. A row of small brass oil lamps lines the stage floor in front of him, and a deep magenta velvet curtain hangs at the right edge. The stage is lit with overhead spotlights. Presentation cues match the a person candidate description, with the flowing hair, ornate silver adornment and ceremonial dress, but the face is not clearly distinct enough to confirm the identity, so this is an uncertain in-person candidate.2017-12-18
