A photograph of a person standing on a stage under red and pink lighting, holding a silver trident with a red gem in its centre. The person has long, dark, wavy hair, a white forehead marking with a red dot, and wears a leopard-print garment with many rudraksha mala strands, a long white bead necklace and a belt of silver bells. A gold-embroidered cushion or throne edge appears at right. The photo is not clearly identifiable as a specific ritual, so the setting is described as a stage performance or satsang space.

September 07 20122012-09-07September 07 20122012-09-07A photograph of a single performer on a red-lit stage, standing beside a gilded ornate throne-like seat. He has long dark wavy hair, a red bindi and white forehead markings, and wears a leopard-print cloth wrap with a dense red rudraksha mala draped across his chest and waist, along with silver bead necklaces and bracelets. He holds a tall silver trident (trishul) in his right hand. The setting is a stage with red backdrop and warm pink lighting. Whether this is the a person candidate cannot be determined from appearance alone, so identity is left unsure.2012-09-07September 07 20122012-09-07A standing person in a photo-like scene wears a rust-red draped garment with a leopard-print shawl and sash, a heavy gold-coloured necklace of beads and a pendant, bangles, and a red forehead mark. They raise one hand while holding a tall silver trident with a red gem, beside a second trident on a stand. Behind them is a green-lit jungle backdrop with a dark wooden throne draped in leopard-print fabric, a row of lit votive candles and flowers at the right edge.2014-12-30September 07 20122012-09-07September 16 20122012-09-16A man stands beside an ornate gold throne on a stage, smiling and holding a silver trident in his right hand while his left hand rests on his hip. He wears long dark hair, a small headset microphone, an orange saffron cloth, a leopard-print sleeveless top layered with many rudraksha mala strands, bead bracelets and armlets, and a cluster of silver-toned pendants at the waist. Behind him a large red-and-pink backdrop shows a painted deity image. A water bottle sits on the stage floor at lower left.2012-09-04September 08 20122012-09-08A performer in a red-lit stage setting stands holding a silver trident with a red gem, wearing a leopard-print and red beaded costume with a tiered red and gold garment, layered red bead and rudraksha-style malas, a bead bracelet, and a tika mark on the forehead. Long dark hair falls loosely behind. The figure appears to be a costumed portrayal of the Shiva form rather than a clear identification of any individual, and the scene is a dim, pink-red stage background.2012-09-07September 07 20122012-09-07Photo of a smiling person with long dark swept-back hair, a white tilak with red bindi on the forehead, and a small earring. He wears a leopard-print garment layered with dense rudraksha mala strands, ornate beaded necklaces and a bell-trimmed rudraksha belt, and holds a polished silver trident (trishul) with a red stone at its centre. Warm red and pink stage lighting fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces and trishul are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this satsang, though appearance alone is not conclusive.2012-09-07
