A photograph of a stage set inside a richly decorated hall, with brightly coloured pink, green and gold painted pillars and two large guardian statues flanking the scene. A long-haired man with dark hair stands centred within an ornate gold arched frame, wearing a leopard-print top, a dark skirt-like wrap and a rudraksha-style necklace, holding a silver trident upright in his right hand. Small brass oil lamps stand on both sides of the platform, and white flower petals are scattered on the dais in front of an ornate golden shrine-like backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long, swept-back hair, leopard-print and dark clothing, trident and beaded necklace, shown as the central figure on stage.
