Photo of a stage set resembling an ornate golden temple gateway with carved lion and makara figures, painted pillars in blue, pink and green, and hanging string lights. A man in a rust-orange kurta and wrap, with long dark hair and a smiling expression, stands in the centre holding a long golden staff with his arms spread wide. Brass oil lamps with trident-shaped stands flank the entrance, and a small brass deity figure stands at right. The clothing and setting suggest a staged satsang or devotional display. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, saffron-toned ceremonial clothing and a rudraksha-style necklace, consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji at this event.

A man stands in a gilded temple-style doorway flanked by large golden lion-head pillars, leaning on a long wooden staff with a brass trident head. He wears a rust-orange kurta with a matching sash-like cloth at the waist and a small red tilak on his forehead. Behind him hang strings of small lights and bells. Ornate golden deity figures, lamps with trident-topped stands, and a kalasha-like brass object occupy the foreground, and blue and pink painted pillars frame the set. The man's appearance, with long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and an orange garment, is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) in a staged setting, displayed as a satsang backdrop.2015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13 +1 copiesA photograph of a man standing in the centre of an ornate golden gateway on a stage.
