A photograph of a crowd gathered in front of a stage. A man stands centre, smiling, holding a tall golden trident in his right hand. He wears a rust-orange saffron-toned wrap over his shoulder, a long rudraksha-style bead necklace, bead bracelets and a red tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back dark hair. Behind him is an ornate gold and brown throne with carved lion-like armrests. Smaller trident staffs and a brass kalasha-style vessel are near the front. Many devotees with folded hands and raised palms fill the foreground, and a camera on a tripod and a black monitor sit at the right edge. The man has distinctive long hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha beads and a trident, consistent with the appearance-based label a person as the figure seated or standing before the throne.
