A photograph of an energy darshan moment on a white bed-like seat in front of a dark blue draped curtain, with brass hanging lamps above. A seated figure in an orange shawl with long, swept-back curly hair raises one palm toward the face of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who has his hands pressed to his chest, with a gold chain and a beaded mala visible. A young woman in white with an orange shawl and a red bindi sits beside them, and a patterned cushion and a black cane lie on the seat. Probable Swamiji is shown in the orange shawl and long hair, performing the darshan blessing.
