A man stands on a stage before a large golden ornate ring frame, with red-orange flame backdrops and smoke behind him. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless top with a leopard-print wrap, red-brown dhoti-style lower garments, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, arm bands and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a long trident-tipped staff in his right hand. Beside him stand a trident, a curved blade and a black feathered ritual implement on metal stands. The setting resembles a theatrical staging of Kalabhairava. Swamiji candidate is probable by appearance cues: long hair, rudraksha beads, adornments, and staff.
