A standing man in orange saffron robes and an orange turban with a small brooch raises both hands above his head on a stage with a dark curtain. He wears white and red-maroon flower garlands and a leopard-print sash at his waist, and has a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands a grey Shiva lingam decorated with yellow ribbons and orange garlands, placed on a gold-carved throne draped in orange cloth, with a backdrop showing snowy mountains and a trident image. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robes and layered flower garlands are the cues, with the man performing a ceremonial gesture before the lingam.
