Indoor darshan scene in an ashram hall. A man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits on a white-draped seat with his right palm raised toward a crowd, a tray of offerings and rudraksha beads before him. The figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron and beaded adornment, a person candidate receiving or blessing devotees. Around him, a shaved-headed monk in orange, two young men in white with orange shawls, and a seated woman in orange sari stand or kneel. About a dozen devotees, including elderly men, women in saris and a child, gather at left and in front, several with folded hands.

A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange wrap sits cross-legged on the sofa, with a white cushion in front of them, as others sit or stand around the room. A shaved-headed man in orange robes and a woman in cream clothes stand near the back, a woman in a purple sari sits to the right, and a woman in a red-orange sari holds a small child. Seated men in white shirts line the left side.
