A man stands on a stage before a large panelled wooden door lit in purple, beside a painted deity statue on the left and golden bull figures at his feet. He wears a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder and across the chest, a rust-coloured dhoti, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold chain and a thin silver bracelet, with long matted hair bound at the crown and a white tripundra on his forehead. He holds a large silver trident decorated with rudraksha beads and a small damaru drum in one hand, and raises his other hand to his forehead with eyes closed. Swamiji (probable): the leopard-print clothing, long matted hair, rudraksha malas and trident signal a Shiva-style ritual performance.
