A stage photograph of a single bare-chested performer in a rust-red draped dhoti and red wrap, with long black hair swept back and a crown-like ornament on his head and a gold necklace. He stands barefoot on a raised stage edge, looking to the side. Behind him a large LED screen shows a grid of glowing orange and red lamp-like images. In front, a long row of tall brass oil lamps stands along the stage edge. The appearance-based label is probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair, a crown, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-red ornate clothing, not a confirmed identity.
