A man stands on a dark stage holding a tall silver trident with a leopard-print tassel and gold-tone band, his right arm raised. He wears a copper-rose draped garment with leopard-print patterned panels, a gold-toned belt, a necklace, arm bands and a red-orange bindi, with dreadlocked hair. Green spotlights fall from the left and rows of ornate brass lamps line the stage edge. Swamiji (probable): long hair, rudraksha-style beaded bracelet and ornate ceremonial adornments on a stage performer presenting the trident; the appearance is consistent with the event's Swamiji, though this is an appearance-based label.
