A man in a red-orange saffron wrap and dark rudraksha beads holds up a gold-coloured trident with his right hand. He wears a dark turban with a small golden crescent, white tripundra markings and a red bindi on his forehead, a gold necklace, and rudraksha bracelets on both wrists. Behind him, a large backdrop shows many painted or printed faces of Shiva in red and pink tones, with a dark bearded figure in the upper left. The image is a single standing figure in front of the backdrop; the trident is a prop-like decorative object. Swamiji (probable) cues: crown or turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads; the person is standing by the trident as a presenter.

A man stands in front of a large red-toned backdrop of multiple painted Shiva faces with a golden trident held in his left hand. He wears a dark red-orange wrap and a dark red turban-style head covering, with a horizontal white tripundra and red bindi on his forehead. Rudraksha beads hang across his chest with a gold necklace, and rudraksha bracelets are on his wrists and upper arm. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. The appearance-based label is a probable match for the presiding sannyasi figure, based on the saffron-red robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, though the image is a single standing figure in a stage-like setting.2018-04-07April 07 20182018-04-07A standing man in an orange-red dhoti-style wrap and matching shawl holds a tall gold trident in his right hand. He wears a black head wrap or turban with a crown-like ornament, a white and red vertical tilak with a red bindu on the forehead, rudraksha bracelets on both arms, a rudraksha mala draped across the chest and a gold pendant necklace. Behind him a large backdrop shows many repeated painted faces of a Shiva-like deity in red, white and blue tones.

It wears a red headband, a white vertical tilak with a red bindi, a dark rudraksha armband, and a gold chain with a pendant, and holds a tall gold trident in its right hand.
