The person wears a leopard-print headwrap and matching leopard-print garment, with long black hair falling down the back and a crescent ornament on the head. Brown beaded bracelets and an armband are visible, and a leopard-print cloth hangs from the trident shaft. Two ornate wooden chairs with patterned upholstery sit in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears as this figure, distinguished by the long swept-back hair, crescent crown ornament, leopard-print attire and rudraksha-style beaded adornments, shown in a performance-style pose with a trident.2017-08-26July 17 20192019-07-17 +1 copiesAugust 26 20172017-08-26A photograph of a performer costumed as a deity figure on a dark stage lit with violet light, with leafy branches overhead.
