A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark swept-back hair and rudraksha malas draped over the chest, sitting in an orange cushioned armchair in front of a golden altar. The seated figure's hand touches the forehead of a kneeling man in white clothes with a red cord around his neck, who bows with his head lowered. Behind them is a gold-framed altar with a white marble figure in orange robes, a golden kalasha-like vessel, marigold and rose garlands, and a small brass deity figure. A brass plate with a golden ritual tray sits on the armrest, and bananas lie on a wooden table at left. The scene reads as a blessing given during darshan.
