A man stands alone on a stage in a dark, illuminated hall, holding a tall silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand while raising his left hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a leopard-print saffron-orange upper garment and matching orange dhoti-style drape with gold trim, a red tilak on his forehead, a small ornament on his head, bangles and a rudraksha-style mala. The trident has a leopard-print tassel. Behind him a large backdrop of glowing red-and-white lit panels and rows of brass lamps line the front of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron/orange clothing, ornate adornments and a trident, matching the candidate cues for the page's named teacher.
