A photograph of a standing man in a dark maroon draped garment with a gold border, holding a tall silver trident (trishul) in his left hand and resting his right hand on his hip. 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.

A 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.

He wears layered gold and bead necklaces, gold-rimmed bangles and armbands, and a large gold ceremonial pendant. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and his forehead is marked with white paint. A tall silver trident stands to his left, lit against the dark background. Appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha beads, seated as the central figure of the satsang. The image is a photograph of one person in an event hall.2016-02-04February 04 20162016-02-04 +1 copiesFebruary 15 20162016-02-15February 04 20162016-02-04February 04 20162016-02-04A man stands on a dark stage under a blue spotlight, smiling, holding a tall golden trident with a wrapped golden drum-shaped handle and tassels. He wears a gold-and-orange patterned bodice, a rudraksha mala across the chest and shoulders, a matching waist band, red-orange draped dhoti, and a gold crown-like headpiece with a crescent ornament; a painted bindi-style mark is on his forehead. Behind him a projected screen shows a waterfall, forest and a herd of deer. The description is an appearance-based probable match to a person in costume as Shiva, with the stage performance context.2017-12-16
