A standing man on a dark stage holds a tall silver trident with his right hand, its prongs catching the light above. He wears an orange-red draped garment and a leopard-print bodice with a matching sash, with dark hair swept up and a crown-like ornament. Behind him a large backdrop of illuminated screens shows glowing red and white patterns, and gold oil lamps line the lower edge of the stage. Green and white spotlights cut through the haze. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears saffron-orange draped clothing, swept-back hair with a crown, and a trident, which are the cues used for identification, and he is presented as a stage performer in a ceremonial setting.
