A standing figure on a stage with a purple-blue backdrop and a painted tree canopy above. He wears a tall black headdress with crescent moon ornaments, a rust-red top, a leopard-print wrap, rust-red dhoti, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace and gold armlets, and holds a silver trident. Behind him sit two tiger-striped seats or cushions and a water bottle sits on a small stool. This is a staged costume performance; he is alone and there are no visible audience members. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair under a crown, rudraksha beads and ornate gold jewellery, so the appearance cues are distinctive, and the figure is physically present on stage.
