A photograph of a man standing barefoot in profile on a grey stage with a dark backdrop. He wears a rust-red draped garment over one shoulder, leaving the other shoulder and chest bare, with a wide red-brown waist sash and a rudraksha bracelet on the upper arm. His long dark dreadlocks are swept back under a red headband with a gold ornament, and he has a gold earring and a beaded necklace. Behind him stand rows of brass oil lamps, many lit, and a large screen glows with gold lettering at the right edge. Swamiji candidate appearance cues are present: long swept-back hair, a headband, a rudraksha bracelet and ornate clothing, so this is a probable match for Swamiji on stage.2017-12-18A man stands in profile on a dark stage, wearing a rust-red draped dhoti-style garment with a bare upper torso, a gold-and-red crown ornament, long dark swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a red rudraksha-style armlet and a wrist mala, and a jeweled gold necklace. Behind him is a row of tall brass oil lamp stands with lit lamps on a dark floor, with a black curtain backdrop and a floor-standing air conditioner at the left edge.

His bare upper body is partly covered by a draped rust-red cloth over a leopard-print animal-skin wrap, with red rudraksha bracelets on his wrists and upper arms. Behind him, rows of brass oil lamps stand on the stage, several lit, beside a large projection screen showing glowing orange imagery. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate headpiece, rudraksha adornments and distinctive ceremonial dress are visible on this performer, so this appearance-based label applies; the depiction is in person on stage.2017-12-18A man stands in profile on a dark stage before a black drape, barefoot, wearing a rust-red draped dhoti-style garment with a red sash and a sleeveless red shawl over the shoulders.
