He holds a silver trident in his right hand and extends his left arm outward, smiling. A red bindi and white vibhuti marks adorn his forehead, and he wears a small hoop earring and a silver necklace.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban holds a golden trident (trishul) upright; he wears a rudraksha mala and bangles. Three kneeling young men in white dhotis with gold borders sit before him with palms pressed together in anjali, one wearing a rudraksha mala. A swept-back look and ornate saffron clothing are visible; the seated figure may be a person in a role-play, though the appearance is uncertain. Red and purple drapes frame the stage.2015-01-13A standing man in a red turban and red-and-saffron wrap stands before an ornate gold throne with red cushions, beneath a red and silver embroidered canopy umbrella. He wears a leopard-print lower garment, layered rudraksha beads, a gold pendant necklace, red bangles and earrings, and a tilak on his forehead. He holds a tall silver trident-tipped staff in his right hand and raises his left arm outward. The background is a carved, gold-patterned wall.2016-04-17A standing man in an orange-rust sannyasi wrap and dhoti with a golden border poses on a stage before an ornate gold-leaf arch.
