Stage performance photograph in a dark venue lit by green spotlights. A man in an orange-red draped dhoti and a leopard-print and gold-patterned upper garment stands on the stage holding a tall silver trident with his right arm extended, with ornate bangles on his wrists and a headdress of coiled hair. Behind him a large LED backdrop shows a grid of red and white lights, and a row of brass oil lamps lines the left edge of the stage. The figure is dressed as a Shiva-style deity; the page indicates Swamiji was present, and the appearance cues (long hair, ornate saffron-orange clothing, trident, ceremonial adornments) are present, so this is a probable Swamiji candidate performing on stage.
