A photograph of a darshan scene in a hall with a red curtain backdrop. A seated figure in an orange robe and a multicoloured floral garland sits on a white throne-like chair, with a white cloth draped over its back. The figure is adorned with a long dark braid and holds a small offering. A woman in an orange sari with a flower in her hair stands in front, hands folded and bowing, while a man in a white shirt and a man in a grey shirt stand nearby with palms pressed together. A woman in a yellow shawl stands behind the throne, and a monastic in orange robes stands at the right. A silver tray with fruit, sweets and red sacred threads sits at the right edge, and a crowd of onlookers fills the background. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure (orange robe, floral garland, long hair) are consistent with Swamiji (probable) receiving devotees on the throne.
