Indoor darshan scene in a hall with a red curtain and a vase of pink roses and white flowers on a white-draped table. A man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits and places his right hand on the crown of a kneeling devotee in white shirt and dhoti who joins his palms in prayer. A younger man in white with an orange shawl stands at left holding a small card, and a woman in a yellow garment and red bindi stands behind the flowers. Several other attendees and a partly visible fan appear at the edges. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-robed man with long hair and rudraksha mala, giving blessing during darshan.
