Photograph of a man standing on a stage under a silver metal truss rig with hanging stage lights. He raises both hands to his forehead in a ritual gesture, with fingers pressed near the brow. He wears a red and orange garment with a leopard-print shawl, a red sash at the waist, red rudraksha malas on the wrists and upper arms, a gold necklace, and a red tilak mark on the forehead. Long dark hair falls behind him. A white draped canopy hangs above. Probable Swamiji appears here with his distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha malas, so the depicted figure is labelled Swamiji (probable), performing a stage demonstration before a stage backdrop.
