He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment over an orange-red cloth, multiple strands of dark rudraksha beads and pale carved beads across his chest, rudraksha bracelets on his wrist and upper arm, and a belt of small metal bells. He holds a tall black staff wrapped in white and pink rope with small bells attached, and his right hand rests on his hip. His long dark hair is swept back, and he has a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead and a headset microphone. A gold ornate chair or seat is partly visible at lower right.2012-09-04A man stands on a raised platform in a red-lit hall, holding a tall silver trident in his right hand. He wears a red dhoti-style cloth, a leopard-print sleeveless vest, a red rudraksha mala draped across his chest, a red-beaded sash with bells at the waist, and red beaded bangles. He has long wavy dark hair and a white tripundra with a red mark on his forehead, and he smiles toward the side. Behind him hang marigold and red-white floral garlands, and a red tiger-striped cushioned seat with gilded ornamental trim is visible. A small circular logo appears in the lower left corner.2012-09-20A performer with long, wavy dark hair and a vertical tilak with red dot on the forehead stands in red-tinted stage lighting with green accents. He wears a flowing red draped garment, a leopard-print bodice, multiple strands of dark rudraksha beads and white bone-style beads across his chest, a rudraksha-beaded belt with small metal bells, and rudraksha bracelets on his arms. One arm is extended outward in a dance-like pose against a gold, metallic backdrop. The photograph shows one person in a dramatic ceremonial costume.2012-09-20A man stands barefoot on a dark stage before red velvet drapes and a golden relief sculpture of a seated figure with hands folded. He holds a silver trident in his right hand, its tines upright, and rests his left hand on his hip. He wears an orange-red draped garment with gold border, a long white floral garland with a rose and gold bead necklace, gold bangles on both arms, and a vermilion forehead mark. Long dark hair falls to his back. Gilded lion-head pedestals flank him, and pink stage lighting washes the scene. The appearance is consistent with a person presenting on stage, but the image alone does not confirm identity.2016-09-22September 17 20122012-09-17September 07 20122012-09-07A man stands on a stage against a purple-lit backdrop, one hand on his hip. He wears a tall dark turban with a small crescent ornament, a red-orange draped garment, multiple layered garlands of gold-toned beads and orange-red flowers, a dark bead mala, and gold bangles on his arms and wrists. A red bindi marks his forehead. Probable Swamiji is shown in an appearance-based label given the turban, ornate ceremonial garlands and saffron-toned clothing. Decorative pillars are visible at the bottom of the frame.2015-12-13A costumed stage performance. A central performer stands in a bold dramatic pose, face painted bright red with a large open mouth, wearing a gold crown with pink lotus-like plumes, a long garland of white skull-like beads and marigolds, green and red dress, and holding red arm-like props. Behind him a performer in orange and teal costume with a bead-garland and a tiger-striped figure crouch on the floor. A shirtless performer in green dhoti and a masked figure in red and pink stand at the right, with a bare-chested man in white vest and purple leggings on the left holding a stick. Brass oil lamps sit near the stage edge.2016-05-01
