A photograph of a stage event with a seated figure on a gilded throne-like chair draped in marigold garlands, wearing a red sleeveless robe with a red shawl. Around the throne, devotees stand in a line: men in cream and white shirts and dhotis, a woman in a green blouse and multicoloured sari, a man in a light blue shirt and white trousers, and women in white and peach-orange saris. Orange marigold garlands hang from the back wall, and small decorative hangings are visible. The seated figure is positioned at the centre of the attendees, who appear to be receiving darshan. Hand-to-hand contact between a devotee and the seated figure is visible at the centre.

A figure with long dark hair in an orange-red robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a marigold garland draped over its top.

Before the throne a child in a white patterned shirt and black trousers stands facing them, and a figure in orange robes leans in beside the child. On the left, women in sarees (one red-striped, one gold-bordered) and a man in white stand watching. On the right, a woman in a white and gold-bordered saree and a man in white kurta and dhoti stand near a table laden with offerings.

Around the throne, about eight people in white kurtas, dhotis and saris stand close, several touching or leaning toward the seated figure, one in a yellow saree and one with an orange shawl among them. The wooden stage floor is visible below. The seated figure has long dark hair and wears a red robe; the presentation cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is an unsure candidate in person, shown in a darshan-style setting with people receiving blessings.2009-02-14February 14 2009 -Kalpataru Convention at Chennai Tamilnadu2009-02-14February 14 2009 -Kalpataru Convention at Chennai Tamilnadu2009-02-14A photograph of a stage darshan at an indoor hall. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold peetha throne with a red cushion, bare-footed, with an orange-red shawl draped over his shoulders. He has long dark wavy hair and appears to be seated in a receptive posture while devotees surround him. Around him stand about a dozen people: women in white and green saris, a woman in a bright turquoise blouse, a girl in yellow, and men in white shirts and dark trousers, several leaning in toward the throne.
