He stands in a gilded archway flanked by golden lion and bull sculptures, brass oil lamp figures with trays, a golden trident-topped lamp stand on the right, and hanging bells and beaded strings above. Painted pink and blue deity figures with multiple arms line the sides of the stage set. The man is smiling. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha-style necklace, with a ceremonial stage setting. He is the only physical person visible.

A man with long dark hair and a red bindi stands smiling on an ornate stage between gilded lion sculptures and a golden deity-like figure. He wears a rust-red kurta with a matching wrap sash and red dhoti, and holds a tall wooden staff in his right hand. Behind him hangs a dark drape strung with rudraksha beads and lit by small oil lamps. A golden trishul rests against the pillar, a golden lion and small brass animal figures sit in front, and a bronze tall lamp with a trident-shaped top stands to the right.

The scene has a colourful painted backdrop of figures on the right edge.2015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13A man with long swept-back dark hair stands on an ornate golden stage decorated with gilded lion and horse sculptures, a golden trident and a brass lamp stand.
