A man stands on a stage before a backdrop of orange flames and smoke, holding a long silver trident-tipped staff with an ornate gold-and-silver curved blade. He has long swept-back dark hair, a short beard, a red tilak on his forehead and a gold chain. He wears a leopard-print cloth with rudraksha mala bands across the chest, upper arm and waist, with brass bells hanging from the waist. A second silver trident stands on the left beside a drum with a leopard-print strap. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate gold and rudraksha adornments and ritual costume are consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji.
