A photograph on a stage with green and orange flame backdrop. A man stands before a large ornate golden ring, wearing a leopard-print tiger-skin style garment across his chest, rust-orange dhoti, a crescent-like headpiece with long dark hair, a beaded necklace and bracelets, and forehead markings. He holds a trident in his right hand. Nearby stand a trident on a pole, a curved horn-like staff, a torch and a peacock-feather fan. The scene resembles a kalabhairava darshan staging. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long hair, ornate ceremonial dress and rudraksha-style adornments, with a trident held as a ceremonial prop.
