A standing man in a maroon draped garment with gold-edged borders holds a silver trident in his left hand, his right hand on his hip. He wears heavy gold and bead necklaces with a central gold pendant, rudraksha-style red bead bracelets on his wrists and arms, and has long dark hair with white markings on his forehead. He stands before a dim backdrop painted with deity figures, with a tiger-striped seat and lanterns behind him. Probable Swamiji cues include the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-toned ceremonial clothing; this is a candidate in person at the event.

He wears a heavy gold necklace and layered garlands, gold armlets and bangles, and a tilak on his forehead. Behind him is a painted backdrop of seated sages in meditation and a reclining tiger-skin-covered seat, with a bull painted in the upper left, under dim blue stage lighting. The figure has long dark hair and is the only person visible; the pose and the page's mention of a person are not enough on their own to confirm identity, so the appearance cue is uncertain.2016-02-04March 15 20162016-03-15A standing man in a deep red and gold-bordered dhoti-style drape holds a silver trident taller than himself, his other hand resting on his hip. He wears layered gold beaded necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a crescent ornament in his dark hair with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him a large painted backdrop shows red and white stylised Hindu-style imagery, with a wooden chair draped in leopard-print cloth and potted plants at the right edge.2016-03-15February 04 20162016-02-04A standing figure on a dimly lit stage holds a silver trident upright in his right hand while the other hand rests on his hip. He wears a maroon-brown draped garment, a heavy gold-and-bead necklace with a large pendant, and a gold armlet, with a dark bead mala and a red-dotted forehead mark visible. Behind him a large painted backdrop shows a seated deity with a bull and a tiger-striped seat, and robed sages sit in meditation at the sides beside foliage. A tiger-striped cloth covers a low seat near his feet. Appearance-based identification is uncertain, so the figure is described by role as a performer or speaker on stage with a trident.
