A man with long swept-back hair and a white-and-red forehead marking stands before a large ornate golden arch against blazing orange flames and yellow smoke. He wears a leopard-print garment, a leopard-patterned sash, and rows of brass bells across his chest and waist, plus red and rudraksha-style beaded bracelets and a gold necklace. In his left hand he holds a tall trident-topped staff with a small drum tied to it, and in his right hand a spear-like rod. The stage backdrop is orange and fiery. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, gold necklace, and ceremonial bells with leopard-print costume are the visible cues, shown here in a role of a fierce ritual figure.
