A barefoot man stands on a dark stage in front of a row of tall brass oil lamps, one of which is lit, with a glowing lamp-patterned screen behind him on the right. He wears a rust-red draped dhoti and a leopard-print shawl across his chest, tied at the waist with a red sash. He has long dreadlocked hair topped with a jewelled ornament, a white tilak on his forehead, rudraksha bracelets on his arms and wrists, and a gold necklace. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate jewelled headpiece, rudraksha adornments and ceremonial gold necklace match the presentation of the event's guru, shown here in performance on stage.
