Photograph of a stage performance. A man stands in profile on a red stage, arm raised in a greeting gesture, with long black hair bound up in a turban-like wrap and a crescent ornament at the front. He wears a leopard-print shawl over bare shoulders, red-orange dhoti-style cloth with gold border, and beaded rudraksha-style bracelets. Beside him stands a silver trishul on a red-draped base with a striped tiger skin. Behind is a large golden relief of a multi-armed seated deity with a crown, and a carved sage figure. Green foliage and dark drapes frame the set. Appearance cues are consistent with a person performer, though identity is uncertain.

May 04 20162016-05-04A figure stands barefoot on a red stage in namaskar with palms pressed above the head and eyes closed. He wears a rust-red dhoti with gold border, a leopard-print shawl, a gold necklace and a long garland, rudraksha bracelets, and a red-and-white tilak on the forehead. A silver trishul stands upright beside him in front of a large golden relief of seated Shiva with a tiger skin draped below. Green stage lighting and plants frame the background. Only one physical person is visible on stage. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, gold ceremonial necklace and leopard shawl are visible appearance cues, so this is an appearance-based candidate.2016-05-04 +1 copiesMay 04 20162016-05-04 +1 copiesStage photograph at an indoor event.
