A 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.
