A man stands alone on a dark stage holding a tall silver trident with a golden-yellow banner, its fringed tassels draped down the staff. He wears a rust-orange draped dhoti and a leopard-print shawl across his chest, with a gold necklace, armbands and bracelets, long dreadlocked hair swept back, and a tilak on his forehead. Green and warm spotlights wash across a backdrop of illuminated panels, and a row of brass lamp stands lines the stage floor. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate orange and leopard-print clothing, and a trident mark a ceremonial stage presentation of Nithyananda Paramashivam.
