A figure seen from behind stands in a hazy red-lit hall with hands on hips. The person wears a rust-red dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, a beaded gold-and-white necklace, and gold armlets and bangles. The bare upper back is visible. To the left stands a silver trident on a tall rod, and red drapes and ornamental panels line the background under a smoky, reddish light.

A photograph of a stage performer in a pink-lit, hazy setting. A man with a white forehead marking and beaded necklaces stands bare-chested in a dhoti-style waist cloth, one hand on his hip and the other gripping a large ornate trident (trishul) with a silver-toned head and a long rope-wrapped shaft. Red stage lights glow along the bottom edge. The figure is a costumed performer, presented as a shiva-themed character; the photograph appears to be a stage performance rather than a seated darshan.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 13 20152015-12-13A man stands barefoot on a stage before a large projected backdrop of a waterfall and rock formations with a green forest. He wears a saffron-orange draped garment with gold-edged pleats, a rudraksha mala of dark beads, and a red tilak on his forehead. He raises a golden trident (trishula) with one hand, holding it by a golden drum-like damaru, while his other hand rests on his hip. Swamiji (probable): the man's long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial trident match the page's description of Swamiji at this event. The page describes a 2017 Guinness record event, but the stage performance visible here is not otherwise identified.2017-12-16December 16 20172017-12-16December 21 20152015-12-21 +1 copiesDecember 13 20152015-12-13A man stands alone on a dim blue-lit stage, smiling, barefoot, holding a tall silver trident (trishul) with a small damaru drum tied near its prongs. He wears a rust-red draped garment with gold edging at the waist, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a short gold chain, with a bindi on his forehead. Light beams and a faint pattern of light spots cover the floor behind him. A candidate matching the appearance cues of a long-haired, rudraksha-adorned figure with a trident is present, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a performer or sannyasi with a trident and damaru on stage.2017-12-16December 13 20152015-12-13A photograph of a single man standing barefoot on a stage under blue-white spotlight beams.

Floor spotlights glow on the stage behind him.2017-12-16A man stands in a smoky, reddish-lit hall beside a tall silver trident (trishul) on the left.
