A photograph of a stage set with a tall dark backdrop of panels lit by red and orange flames, flanked by rows of brass oil lamps along the front edge. A single figure stands in the centre within a red-lit doorway, holding a long trident (trishul) upright in one hand, with the other hand on the hip, wearing a draped grey-lavender garment and long loose hair. Two spotlights hang above. The figure's identity cannot be determined from appearance alone, and the scene shows a staged ritual or presentation rather than an identifiable event.

December 18 20172017-12-18 +1 copiesA photograph of a stage lit in deep red with a single figure standing at centre, seen from behind. The figure holds a tall trident in one hand and rests the other hand on the hip, wearing a long grey-silver draped garment and long dark braided hair down the back. Flanking the stage are large dark panels with red and white light patterns. In the foreground a row of ornate brass oil lamps, lit, lines the front edge of the red stage. Smoke hangs in the air behind the figure. The figure is a person standing alone on stage. Appearance-based label: the figure has long braided hair and a trident, but the face is not visible; a person is unsure.2017-12-18December 18 20172017-12-18Stage photograph at an evening event with red-lit backdrop of many illuminated brass oil lamps arranged in tiers on both sides. A single figure stands centrally on the red-carpeted stage, holding a tall trident (trishul) upright in one hand, wearing a long flowing robe in pale tones, with long hair falling to the back. Rows of brass lamp stands line the front edge of the stage. Spotlights and overhead stage lights illuminate the scene against a dark ceiling.2017-12-18December 18 20172017-12-18December 18 20172017-12-18A man stands alone on a stage in a red-orange draped dhoti and matching upper garment with gold trim, holding a tall golden trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. He wears a crown-like headpiece and bangles. Behind him a large backdrop of illuminated red and white lit panels fills the frame, and rows of brass oil lamps (diyas) line the stage edge on both sides. Swamiji (probable) appears here by visible cues of ornate saffron-orange clothing, a crown and a trident, with his role as a stage performer or presenter on a ceremonial stage. The scene reads as a staged event rather than a sit-down session.2017-12-18December 18 20172017-12-18December 18 20172017-12-18December 18 20172017-12-18December 16 20172017-12-16 +1 copiesDecember 18 20172017-12-18
