A photograph at a Sarva Darshan style gathering in a covered hall with striped red, blue and yellow pillars. A man in an orange robe with a dark rudraksha mala and a white tilak on his forehead raises his right hand in blessing over the head of a devotee in a white shirt, who bows with palms pressed together. Beside them, a man in a white shirt and an elderly man with folded hands also bow. An attendant in orange holds an orange tray with a folded cloth. Other people stand in the background against a metal railing, and a red carpet covers the floor. The orange-robed blessing figure has long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial appearance, consistent with the page's a person reference, though the image does not confirm identity beyond appearance.
