A photograph of a ceremonial darshan scene. A figure seated on an ornate red-cushioned golden throne with a carved lion-head armrest wears an orange-saffron turban and orange-tan clothing, a multicoloured flower garland, and has long dark swept-back hair; the figure is smiling and holds a fruit. Devotees approach to receive fruit: a bald man in saffron robes with a rudraksha-style bead necklace holds a red fruit, a woman in a green blouse and purple shawl and a woman in white with red border stand nearby, and a man in white dhoti and shawl with a tilak stands at right. Others crowd behind, and a video camera on a tripod is visible in the background. Red draping and a gold canopy frame the scene.
