A photograph of a single person standing on a stage in front of a carved stone wall relief showing a seated deity. The person wears a dark wrapped turban, a rust-red upper garment with gold border, a leopard-print cloth wrapped at the waist, and layered gold necklaces with a pendant. A silver trishul trident with ornate tips is held in the right hand. A tiger-skin cloth lies at the left edge, and green lighting illuminates potted plants behind. Appearance-based cues including the turban, rudraksha-style beads on the arms, ceremonial gold necklaces and ornate attire give a probable Swamiji (probable) presence, performing as a Shiva-form figure with the trishul and tiger skin.
