A photograph of a darshan on a stage draped with marigold garlands. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and marigold and red flower decorations. Two devotees bow in front of him, one woman in a grey-green patterned sari and a man in white shirt and white trousers, with hands pressed together and touching the seated figure's hands. A woman in a white sari with gold border stands at right, and fruit and a water bottle sit on the side table. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes on a golden throne, so the appearance-based label applies. Four physical people are visible.
