A man stands on a stage against a dark starfield backdrop with a bright red-orange glow and streaks of light. He wears a rudraksha crown with a crescent moon ornament, a vibhuti horizontal line and bindu on his forehead, and a rust-red dhoti and wrap with leopard-print cloth. He wears layered rudraksha malas, rudraksha armlets and anklets, and holds a silver trident in one hand and a damaru drum wrapped in a leopard-print scarf in the other, with his other hand raised in blessing. The Shiva-style costume and stage setting suggest a performance or demonstration. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), shown with rudraksha crown, rudraksha malas and leopard-print attire.
