A man stands barefoot on a stage lit by green spotlights, against a backdrop of illuminated red and white LED panels. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and a leopard-print sleeveless top with a leopard-print wrap draped over his shoulder, and wears bangles and a headpiece with long dark hair. He holds a tall silver trident in his right hand, with a small drum attached near its prongs, and raises his left hand in a blessing gesture. A row of brass oil lamps lines the stage edge at his feet. Appearance cues including the long swept-back hair, ornate ceremonial clothing and a trident with a drum suggest the Swamiji (probable) performing on stage, in a costume presentation.
