Photograph of a darshan line at a temple-style hall. A seated figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, smiling as he extends his hand to a small girl in a dark maroon top and white skirt who holds a leopard-print shawl. A man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala stands beside the girl, and a woman in red sari attends at a gold table with fruit, flowers and offerings. Devotees in saris, including a woman in blue and another in teal, wait in line on an orange carpet. Gold-rimmed plates of flower petals lie at the foot of the throne. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back dark hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala, seated on a throne while receiving devotees.
