A standing man in a dark turban and rust-red dhoti and shawl, wearing a leopard-print wrap over his waist, layered gold and red beaded necklaces, red bead bracelets and armlets, with a white tilak and red dot on his forehead. He holds a silver trishul at his side and smiles, standing barefoot on a red stage. Behind him a large golden-faced deity murti with multiple arms and a crown is carved into a stone-textured wall, flanked by carved lion figures, and a tiger-striped cloth lies on the platform. The man shows distinctive adornments and a trishul, a compatible presentation, but the cues are not sufficient to confirm identity, so he is described by role as a performer on stage.

May 04 20162016-05-04A standing man in a dark turban with a red tilak on his forehead stands on a red stage before a large golden relief of a multi-armed deity murti with a crown and gold face. He wears a leopard-print cloth over rust-red and orange garments, a heavy gold garland with a large pendant, rudraksha bracelets and armlets, and red earrings. He holds a silver trishul trident. A tiger-skin draped cushion and carved figures flank the wall. Appearance is consistent with the Swamiji candidate with several cues (turban, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha, ceremonial gold necklace), so this is labelled probable.2016-05-04 +1 copiesMay 04 20162016-05-04 +1 copiesA standing man on a red-edged stage holds a silver trishul with a striped white-and-pink staff in his right hand.
