A photograph of one standing man in a staged performance against a glowing golden arched backdrop lit in red and orange. He holds a silver trident (trishula) in his left hand and rests his right hand on his hip. He has long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and wears a sleeveless orange top, a leopard-print cloth wrapped at the waist over an orange dhoti, and multiple long necklaces and arm bands of dark rudraksha beads interspersed with silver bells. Bells are also tied at his ankles. The figure resembles Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: long hair, rudraksha malas and ornate saffron clothing, shown in the role of a Shiva-like performer with trident.
