A photograph of a small orange-walled room with a wall clock at top left and a framed poster of a long-haired woman in orange at top centre. A long-haired man seated in an orange robe wears a red and white flower garland, a gold ceremonial necklace and a red tilak on his forehead. He reaches out to a seated devotee with his back to the camera in a white shirt. Around them stand men in white shirts and white dhotis, one with a rudraksha mala and hands pressed together in namaskar, another in a yellow shawl and white clothes, and a young man in an orange garment with a rudraksha mala at right. An orange cloth drapes the chair behind the seated figure. The seated man has long dark hair, orange robe and gold necklace, consistent with a probable appearance-based candidate for a person seated in darshan, though this is uncertain.
