A photograph of a public darshan in an open hall with a red-painted wall and a green-and-red striped mat on the floor. A seated figure in an orange-saffron shawl and a garland of yellow and orange flowers sits on a white-draped chair with a leopard-print cushion, with a wooden walking stick leaning beside. Long swept-back dark hair, ornate dress and a saffron shawl are visible cues, and the page identifies this as a darshan event where Swamiji was present, so this is a probable Swamiji candidate. Two devotees kneel before him in white: a man in a white shirt with his head bowed, and a woman in a white sari with a floral pattern, bending forward with hands near his feet. Behind, a standing man in white dhoti-style clothing films with a camera, and others in white stand near a table. A fruit tray and offerings sit at the right edge.
