A man stands on a stage in front of a large silver ring-shaped prop, lit by blue and magenta light with flame-like projections behind him. He wears a dark patterned bodice with a dark red dhoti-style lower garment and has a tilak on his forehead; he holds a silver trident. Beside him stand a silver trident-topped staff, a dark ceremonial staff with a curved top, and a tall ornate pole, with haze in the air. A logo appears at top left. Swamiji (probable) is a candidate here based on the swept-back hair, ceremonial dress, and stage trident props, though appearance alone is uncertain.
