A 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. The figure's appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by saffron clothing, long hair and the ceremonial necklace, and he is standing on a stage presentation; no other people are visible.

April 30 20172017-04-30A 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 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA hall stage lit with warm orange light and haze shows a large life-sized statue of a standing sage in a rust-orange robe and shawl, one arm raised, holding a tall staff, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace. Behind him an ornate gold arched shrine niche holds a smaller deity figure, flanked by gilded carved panels. To the left stands a silver-and-blue carved deity figure on a peacock-like mount, and to the right a gilded guardian statue. Hanging bells and lamps dangle from the ceiling above. The figure is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present. Possible a person depiction, appearance-based uncertainty only.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copiesA figure stands centre stage in a hazy, orange-lit temple-style hall, one arm raised and a long staff held in the other hand.

Hanging brass bells dangle from the ceiling, and a silver-toned peacock-like statue stands at left.

A single man stands centre stage in a rust-orange robe with a matching shawl, holding a long staff in one hand and raising the other arm, with a beaded necklace visible at his chest. Behind him is a large arched golden frame with carved figures, and a golden lion-like or mythical seated figure sits at his feet beside a brass vessel. Flanking figures and a silver ornamental pillar with a peacock-like motif frame the scene. A single person is physically present on stage. The figure's appearance is consistent with a presentation of a saffron-clad teacher but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2017-04-30 +1 copies
