A man stands barefoot on a stage in front of a large ornate gold-embossed circular arch and a matching golden throne-like backdrop with a blue draped curtain. He wears an orange sleeveless top, orange dhoti-style trousers, a leopard-print cloth sash, and a heavy layered necklace of silver and rudraksha beads, with beaded armbands and ankle bands. He has long dark hair, a white headband with a red bindi, and eyes closed with a broad smile. He holds a silver trident aloft in his right hand. Appearance is consistent with a probable Swamiji figure, with long hair, rudraksha malas and ornate necklace, seen on stage as a performer or portrayed figure; the scene is a single person, not a crowd.
