He wears a black turban, red sleeveless garment, a leopard-print wrap over a red dhoti with gold border, layered gold and beaded necklaces, red rudraksha bracelets and a bindi. Behind him a large golden-faced deity murti with multiple arms rises from a carved stone relief, with a seated figure and lion-like carvings at the sides. A tiger-striped cloth lies on a red platform. Swamiji (probable): the figure has a long black turban, rudraksha bracelets, gold ceremonial necklaces and a trishul, and is presented as a performer on stage; identity is based on appearance cues only.
