A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, wearing a dark embroidered kurta and a black shawl, with a gold pendant and a multicoloured garland of white jasmine and marigolds. He sits on a red-cushioned throne decorated with yellow, pink and white flower garlands and a carved gold deity panel. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands before him with hands in anjali mudra, bowing in reverence. A second person in white with an orange cloth is partly visible at the left edge. Behind them hangs a backdrop with printed figures standing on blue pedestals. Appearance-based probable identification: the seated figure with long swept-back hair and ceremonial garland matches a person, receiving darshan from a devotee.
