A man stands alone on a stage lit by green spotlights, in front of a backdrop of illuminated red and white square panels. He wears a rust-red draped dhoti with a leopard-print patterned upper garment and bracelets on his upper arms. He holds a tall silver trident (trishul) with a tassel and a small hand drum attached near its top in his right hand, and extends his left arm outward. A crown-like ornament sits on his head with long dark hair, and a necklace is at his throat. Ornate brass lamps line the front of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long hair, a crown and ornate ceremonial clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji performing on stage.
