A figure in a rust-orange and brown robe stands on a stage in hazy, warmly lit smoke, one hand on hip and the other holding a tall trident-tipped staff. A crown-like headpiece and a multi-strand beaded necklace are visible, and a bull figure with a silver-trimmed saddle lies at his feet. Behind him stands an ornate gold-toned arched shrine and carved gilded panels with hanging bells above. The setting resembles a staged portrayal of a deity murti-style tableau rather than a live gathering. The figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no identification is made.

April 30 20172017-04-30A life-sized figure stands on a stage in a golden-ornate temple-style setting, holding a tall trident in its right hand and a rudraksha-style necklace of beads and gold pendants on its chest. It wears a rust-orange draped garment with a sash at the waist. Beside it on the stage is a golden kalasha-like vessel with a decorative bull or nandi figure. Hanging brass bells and a soft smoky haze surround the scene, and an arched gold frame with carved panels rises behind. Because this appears to be a statue or depiction rather than a living person, no physical people are counted. The figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA single standing man on a raised stage in a richly gilded temple-style hall with hanging brass bells. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, a gold chest ornament and beaded necklaces, and a crown-like headpiece, and holds a tall silver trident at his side with one hand on his hip. Behind him stands an ornate gilded shrine arch with a deity murti, and a small bronze bull figure with a red cloth lies at his feet. Warm purple-orange stage lighting and haze surround him. The figure is appearance-consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) given the trident, crown and saffron-toned robes, shown in person as the central figure of the stage presentation.2017-04-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a figure standing on a stage in a warmly lit, smoky hall. The central figure wears a saffron-orange draped shawl over the shoulders and bare torso, layered beaded mala necklaces and gold ornaments, and a crown-like headpiece; one hand rests on the hip while the other holds a tall ornate staff with a trident-like top.

Behind stands a gilded arched throne canopy with carved gold panels, a backdrop of hanging bells and carved deity figures, and light haze from stage fog. a person is the page's subject; the figure shows crown, saffron draped garment, rudraksha-style malas and ceremonial ornaments, consistent with the cues for a probable identification.2017-04-30 +2 copiesA figure stands centrally on an illuminated stage in a warm orange and violet light haze, holding a tall trident-like staff and wearing a saffron-orange dhoti with a wrap draped over the shoulder and a beaded necklace. Behind him a large ornate golden temple-style backdrop with carved deity figures and arches frames the stage, with hanging bells and lamps above. Smoke or fog drifts across the stage, and a brass kalasha-like vessel sits near the lower foreground, with a metal stage railing in front.
