A man stands on a raised stage before a large golden relief of a multi-armed deity, with a seated figure and lion-like carvings in the background. He wears a black turban with a red bindi on his forehead, a long gold necklace with a pendant, rudraksha bracelets, and a red garment over a leopard-print wrap with red dhoti-style lower cloth. He raises one hand in greeting and holds a silver trishul with a twisted silver staff. A tiger-striped cloth covers a seat behind him, and a red candle stands at left. Appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable) based on the turban, rudraksha, ornate gold necklace and trishul, though identity is uncertain.
