He wears a black hair wrap with a tilak on his forehead, a dark red robe with gold border, a leopard-print cloth wrap, layered gold necklaces and rudraksha bracelets. He holds a silver trishul with a white-and-red striped shaft, and a tiger-striped cloth lies beside him. a person appearance cues: ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and a ceremonial trishul; the page says he is present, so this figure is treated as the probable Swamiji, a performer in ceremonial dress.

He wears a black turban, white tripundra markings on the forehead, gold earrings, layered gold and bead necklaces, a rudraksha-style bracelet set and a leopard-print shawl over a maroon garment. Behind him a large golden-faced relief of a multi-armed deity murti is carved into a textured stone-like wall, with lion and tiger carvings to the sides and a tiger-striped cloth on the floor. Sculpted figures appear on the wall, and the stage has a warm, dramatic light.2016-05-04 +1 copiesA standing man in a stage setting before a large golden relief of a multi-armed deity murti with a crown and a crescent ornament.

He wears a black turban-style headwrap with a white forehead mark, a maroon garment with a leopard-print cloth wrapped at the waist, and heavy gold necklaces with a pendant. Rudraksha bracelets are on his wrists and arms. He holds a silver trident with a twisted white staff, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the platform edge.
