A performer on the left has long, wild dark hair and wears a leopard-print garment layered with rudraksha beads and brass bell-like ornaments, with red bead bracelets on the arm, and holds a tall metal trident with a golden band. Facing the performer on the right, a man in a white t-shirt with a lanyard raises both hands palms-up in an expressive gesture. Two seated men in orange-toned clothing sit lower in the frame, one bald and attentive, the other partly cut off at the right edge.

He wears a leopard-print garment with layered rudraksha malas and gold bead ornaments, and a pendant necklace. Two men in orange and saffron clothing with mala beads kneel and watch with clasped hands beside the stage, and another man in white stands behind. Warm stage lighting, a dark curtain and a window frame form the backdrop. The man with the trident has the distinctive long hair, rudraksha and ornate dress cues associated with Swamiji (probable), so this is an appearance-based candidate performing a blessing; the devotee and attendants are the physical people present.2012-04-16April 16 20122012-04-16April 16 20122012-04-16April 16 20122012-04-16A photograph of a stage performance under warm red-orange lighting against dark drapery. A woman with long dark curly hair wears a leopard-print outfit with a belt of small brass bells and red beaded bracelets and armband. She holds a tall golden trident, its handle wrapped in cord, and extends it toward a man in a white t-shirt with a lanyard, who raises his hands toward the trident tip. Another man with a shaved head and an orange garment is partly visible at the bottom, looking up. The setting resembles a ceremonial or devotional demonstration with a trident, which is a Shiva symbol. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance.2012-04-16
