A man stands on a stage before a large backdrop of glowing lamp-like lights, with a row of brass oil lamps in the foreground. He wears a rust-red draped garment with a leopard-print shawl across his chest and waist, red bangles on his wrists and arms, a red-and-gold headband with a jewelled ornament over his hair, and a tilak on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate headpiece, red draped clothing and ceremonial adornments match the presentation of the figure on stage, but the identification is based on appearance only.
