A figure stands on a stage in purple-blue light beside an ornate golden throne with a scalloped back. He wears a red-orange turban and a red-maroon top with a leopard-print wrap, a long gold-toned necklace and bangles. He raises one hand in greeting and holds a silver trident staff. Potted green plants and silver ceremonial staffs with lamp-like finials surround the stage, and a dark ornamental backdrop is behind him.

He wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders, a leopard-print wrap around his waist, rust-orange trousers, and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with a pendant. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with a scalloped back and a leopard-print cloth, and silver tridents stand to the left. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron-toned shawl, rudraksha mala and trident fit the page's described Kalabhairava darshan, with the throne and stage as setting.2015-05-21May 21 20152015-05-21A large statue of a standing figure in red-brown ceremonial clothing and a leopard-print lower garment stands before a golden throne with carved ornamental panels. The figure wears a red headwrap, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, and holds a tall silver trident. Several smaller silver tridents stand on either side against a blue-lit backdrop of clouds and mountains, with green foliage at the base. Dim blue lighting frames the scene. The figure is a sculpted statue, not a living person, and the scene is a Kalabhairava-themed display.2015-05-21May 21 20152015-05-21May 21 20152015-05-21A photograph of a standing figure on a raised golden stage under purple stage lighting. He wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red draped garment with a leopard-print wrap around the waist, multi-strand beaded necklaces with an ornate gold pendant, and bangles. He holds a tall silver trident in his right hand and stands beside a second silver trident. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and leopard-print drapery, set against a painted mountain backdrop. The figure appears to be the Swamiji candidate; the Swamiji attribution is probable based on red-saffron clothing, a turban, layered beaded malas and gold necklace, with a trident and throne setting.2015-05-21May 21 20152015-05-21May 21 20152015-05-21
