A standing man with long swept-back hair and a dark forehead mark wears a patterned leopard-print wrap, a beaded necklace and an animal-skin-style cloth over one shoulder, and holds a trident. He stands within a large ornate golden circular frame. Beside him stand a tall trident, a drum on a pole, a staff, a curved horn-shaped prop and a dark feathered fan on a stand. Lights glow at the base of the stage. Probable Swamiji is shown in ornate costume with a trident, long hair and a rudraksha-style necklace, though appearance-based identification is uncertain.
