A standing figure with long swept-back dark hair, a yellow-gold tilak on the forehead, and gold earrings stands on a wooden peetha or raised seat, holding a silver trident (trishul) in the right hand. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a leopard-print shawl over the shoulders, with a large rudraksha mala and a gold necklace. Around him a hall of seated devotees in white and orange clothing press their palms together in namaste; a microphone stands on a stand beside the peetha. Pale walls, empty chairs and a small red framed painting of deities appear behind the crowd, and a glass water bottle sits on the platform.

A standing figure on a carved wooden chair holds a silver trident and wears an orange-red wrap, a thick rudraksha mala draped across the chest, a gold necklace, and a leopard-print garment over the lower body. A yellow-and-red forehead mark and a tall dark hair bun are visible. Behind and below, seated devotees in white and light clothing fill the room; one man in white sits with palms pressed together. A water bottle sits on the table, and a microphone stand is at right. Clothing and rudraksha cues are distinctive but the face is not clearly determinable, so the figure is described by role and set as a probable candidate with unsure appearance.2015-12-09December 20 20152015-12-20December 09 20152015-12-09A standing figure with long swept-back dark hair, a yellow tilak on the forehead, a large rudraksha mala necklace and rudraksha armbands, wears an orange wrap over a leopard-print cloth and orange dhoti, standing on a stage beside a carved wooden throne and a silver trident.
