They hold a tall silver staff with hanging silver bells, with gold drapery on the left and a deep red curtain behind. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial setting are visible cues for the page's Swamiji claim, so the candidate is in person and the appearance is taken as probable.2013-07-08September 09 20122012-09-09September 04 20122012-09-04A figure stands in profile holding a silver trident with a rounded drum-like ornament near its base. He wears a leopard-print headwrap with a small gold crescent, a rust-orange shawl draped over the shoulders, layered rudraksha malas and a white flower garland, and rudraksha bracelets on the arms. A red bindi marks the forehead. Behind him, a dim stage shows a deity murti on the right and a lit screen with a portrait. Appearance cues (orange shawl, rudraksha malas, ornate headwrap, trident) suggest a person, but the page states no a person at this event, so identity is uncertain.2015-12-07A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead, standing on a stage under red and pink lighting. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment with a red and bead rudraksha mala and matching red bead bracelets on his upper arm and wrist. He holds a silver trident (trishul) in his raised left hand while his right hand rests on his hip. Behind him is a shimmering golden-brown sequined backdrop.2012-09-04
