Photograph of a darshan line inside a covered hall decorated with marigold and yellow-red flower garlands and banana leaves, with red drapes. At the far end a golden deity murti of Shiva and Parvati sits on a raised seat behind a framed photograph labelled with a garland, placed on a golden stand in front of the murti. Brass lamps flank the murti. On the right, a few blurred people in saris and shirts stand along metal railings, and an unidentifiable person's face is only partly visible. The framed photograph shows a seated figure in orange robes with long hair and beads, but its subject is not established by any visible caption.
