Night outdoor darshan scene with a large crowd behind a stage area lit by floodlights and lined with small orange flags. In the foreground, a figure in orange robes and a tall orange turban sits at a raised table, with a bowl of apples and other fruit beside them. An older man in a white shirt and dark trousers leans forward with folded hands and bowed head to receive an apple, while others in white and orange shirts, a woman in a white sari and a woman in a yellow garment gather around. A display unit and a tray of small items sit nearby. Whether the seated figure is the a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role as a robed sannyasi.
