A man stands alone on a stage in front of a large backdrop of illuminated red and white square panels, lit by a green-yellow spotlight from upper left. He wears an orange-brown leopard-print draped garment over the shoulder and chest, a gold-and-orange dhoti-style wrap, a rudraksha-style necklace, arm bands and a red tilak on the forehead, with long dark hair swept back. He raises a large silver trident with a leopard-print tassel in his right hand. Brass lamps line the front of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the figure's long swept-back hair, tilak, trident, and saffron-orange ceremonial clothing with necklace fit the page's description of an event featuring him, though his face is not used for identification.
