He wears a saffron-orange cloth, long pearl and rudraksha-style necklaces, layered brown seed-bead and bell adornments on his chest, arms and waist, and a red bindi with white forehead markings. He holds a silver trident-like staff with a rope and yellow ball at its top, smiling while resting his other hand on his hip. A pink-and-white backdrop with dark swirl designs fills the background. Appearance-based cues suggest a person in a costumed role, but this is uncertain given the staged, theatrical setting.2012-07-18March 31 20132013-03-31A performer dressed as a deity stands before a large ornate golden arch with embossed scalloped patterns, lit in warm orange and green light. He holds a silver trident with a red-wrapped handle in his right hand and wears a leopard-print garment, a red patterned cloth, and layered beaded necklaces with rudraksha-style beads, bangles and chain-like straps.

Behind him a carved temple-like backdrop is visible.2012-09-21April 06 20132013-04-06A photo of a performer dressed as Lord Shiva in a stage-like setting. He wears a leopard-print garment with bands of metal bells and chains across his chest and waist, multiple beaded necklaces, and arm bands. He holds a silver trident with a chain hanging from it, and a red cloth drapes behind him. His long dark hair is wild, with a dark bindi and face painted green. Behind him is an ornate copper-coloured arch lit by red and green light, with carved stone walls beyond. The image is a studio-style costume portrait rather than a ritual scene.2012-09-21September 15 20122012-09-15A standing man in saffron-orange robes stands on an ornate gold-toned stage before a large ornamental gold arch framed with embossed patterns, with a golden throne-like seat behind him and a red and pink draped backdrop. He wears layered rudraksha malas across his chest and waist, a red tilak on his forehead, and bangles and armbands. He holds a silver trident with a white cloth tied to its shaft in his left hand. Swamiji (probable) is shown as a performer on stage, with long swept-back dark hair and ceremonial saffron clothing with rudraksha malas as visible cues, and a pink flower garland hangs at the right edge. The setting suggests a satsang or darshan stage.2012-07-19A man with long, dark, curly hair stands on a lit stage against a red backdrop. He holds a silver trident (trishula) upright in his right hand. He wears a red and gold patterned garment with a leopard-print wrap, layered red rudraksha malas and a white bead necklace, and a tilak on his forehead. The red stage lighting gives the scene a warm glow. a person, identified by long swept hair, rudraksha malas and trident-bearing Shiva-style attire, appears as the central figure speaking on stage.2012-09-07
