A standing man on a stage holds a silver trident (trishul) with a twisted silver shaft and smiles, raising his left hand in a greeting. He wears a black turban with a small crescent ornament, a red-brown sleeveless top, a leopard-print wrap over red-brown dhoti-style lower garments, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace with a pendant, rudraksha bracelets and forehead tilak. Behind him a large golden-bronze relief of a seated four-armed deity murti with a crown and necklaces dominates the backdrop, with carved figures in praying poses and a lion relief at the edges. A tiger-striped cloth lies on the platform. Swamiji (probable): the identifying cues are the ornate gold necklace, rudraksha malas, turban and leopard-print wrap worn by the standing performer in a stage setting.
