A photograph of a darshan line where a person in a maroon and orange turban, a maroon shawl draped over the shoulders and a beaded necklace places a hand on the head of a man with folded palms. Several devotees stand in a row behind him in white dhotis and checked shirts, hands pressed together. On the right, an attendant in white holds a tray of fruit and a white envelope is visible in the turbaned person's hand. The setting is an indoor hall with draped backdrop. The turbaned figure shows long hair and ornate clothing, and the page indicates a person was present, so this is a probable in-person appearance candidate with a ceremonial turban and maroon shawl.
