A figure stands alone on a stage in a dramatic light show, holding a tall silver trident (trishul) in the right hand. He wears a saffron-orange draped dhoti and a matching orange-gold torso wrap, with gold armlets and a bare upper body, and has long dark hair swept back. Behind him is a backdrop of illuminated red and white screens arranged in a grid. Rows of brass oil lamps (lamps) line the stage edges on both sides. Swamiji (probable) is the trident-bearing figure, appearing in a stage performance setting; the qualifying cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold adornments, with the trishul as a Shiva attribute.
