A standing figure on a dark stage is lit by two converging white spotlight beams against a violet haze. The figure has long dark hair with a crown-like ornament, a red beaded necklace, bare upper body with orange-gold draped dhoti, and holds a tall trident with a drum-shaped element at the centre. Two small silhouetted audience heads are visible at lower left. The figure is a depiction, possibly a performer or costumed statue, and the appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity.

Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, ornate orange clothing and rudraksha mala are visible cues, shown in performance-style staging rather than as an identified ritual.2017-12-16A dim stage lit in blue-violet light shows a single figure standing near the centre, holding a tall trident with a crossbar, with smoke or mist rising behind. The figure wears a reddish-orange draped cloth, a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body with decorative adornments, in a Shiva-themed performance setting. Overhead rigging and stage lights hang above. In the foreground, audience members are visible at the bottom edge, several wearing orange head coverings, some with hands folded in namaste. Appearance-based probable candidate: the figure matches cues of distinctive adornments and trident, but the face and full presentation are too small and dark to confirm.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16A man stands alone on a dimly lit blue stage, lit by spotlights from above. He wears an ochre-gold draped cloth over his shoulder and waist, a multi-strand rudraksha mala around his neck, and an armband. He holds a silver trident with a small damaru drum tied to its shaft with tassels. The image shows a person in a stage performance costume, consistent with the page's account of a Mahasadashiva darshan presentation, and no printed name is visible. Swamiji (probable) cues are long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ochre draped clothing, so this figure is the main candidate.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16A single performer stands centre stage under a bright overhead spotlight with dramatic light beams fanning out against a dark background. He wears an orange-red draped garment with a pleated dhoti-style lower wrap and a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace. His right hand rests on his hip while his left hand holds a tall trident with a golden drum-shaped element hanging near its shaft. Bare feet on a dark stage floor.2017-12-16
