Photo of a darshan line in a hall with a standing, pale-pink-robed man in a red, orange and pink turban and a multi-strand rudraksha and pearl mala. He places his right hand on the head of an elderly devotee in a white shirt while others in the queue stand with palms pressed together. On the right, a monk in orange robes holds a red tray with flower garlands, sweets and fruit. Two other people are visible in the crowd behind, and the warm-lit room has orange and gold decorations. Swamiji candidate appearance is a probable match: long swept-back hair, a multicoloured turban, a rudraksha mala and ornate clothing, with him giving blessings to devotees.
