A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a red-carpeted stage in a brown saffron-toned dhoti and matching shawl, wearing a long pink and white flower garland and a gold pendant necklace, and holding a tall golden trident staff in his left hand while his right arm extends outward. Behind him a golden throne is set before a large painted backdrop of a deity figure with raised hands and a crown, flanked by maroon curtains and ornate carved stone pillars. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a microphone stand is at right. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair and ornate clothing with a ceremonial gold necklace and garland, with a trident staff, so the appearance cues are distinctive and he is shown in a presenter role on stage.
