A photograph inside a hall with pale walls and framed pictures, showing a bearded man with long dark hair seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne. He is bare-chested in an orange-red wrap and wears a rudraksha mala, holding a tall silver staff, and a trident stands beside the throne. Dozens of seated devotees surround him on a mat: many women wear white and orange garments with rudraksha malas, and a few men wear orange. A gilded seat with a deity murti stands in the background, along with a tripod camera, a standing fan and a side table with a small object. Hmm, the scene reads as a darshan or satsang.
