A man stands on a tiger-skin covered platform against a dark stage backdrop, wearing an orange-red draped garment with a leopard-print belt and a leopard-print headband. He wears multiple strands of rudraksha malas, a gold necklace and rudraksha bracelets, and has a red tilak on his forehead. His right arm is extended outward with the palm open, while his left hand holds a silver trident (trishul) topped with a damaru drum wrapped in leopard-print fabric. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, saffron-orange draped clothing and rudraksha malas match the appearance cues for the page subject, shown here as a performer-style depiction in a Shiva-like pose.
