A photograph of a darshan or blessing session in an indoor hall with a red curtain backdrop. A man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a white cushioned seat and reaches out to a devotee's head. Nearby, a man in white with an orange shawl holds up a hand, a shaved-head man in orange and red stands beside him, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl and red bindi stands behind a table with flowers, sweets and religious objects. A seated woman in white with a braid in the foreground holds a white card. A trident is mounted on the white throne at right and a fan stands at left. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long swept-back hair, orange robe, rudraksha mala and seated central role, which is consistent with the page's claim.
