A man stands barefoot on a grey stage in a flowing orange-red satin dhoti-style garment, bare-shouldered with a wrap, wearing layered rudraksha malas, a green bead necklace and gold ornaments, a gold armband and bangles. He has long swept-up dark hair, a yellow tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and smiles while raising both palms in front of him. Behind him stand gold-patterned ornamental panels and a curtain backdrop with a carved peacock-feather style motif. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of swept-back hair, saffron ornate clothing and rudraksha malas, shown in a performance on stage.
