A photograph of a stage set up in a tent, with a large grey relief sculpture of a multi-armed deity murti behind a red carpeted platform. A standing man in the centre wears a black head wrap, a red-orange dhoti-style garment with a leopard-print shawl, and beaded necklaces; he holds a silver trishul upright. Potted green plants lit with green light flank the stage, and a golden floral decoration hangs from the tent ceiling. The figure has long dark hair under the wrap and distinctive adornments, matching the page's Swamiji reference, so he is described as a probable Swamiji in person.
