A photograph of a Sarva Darshan at a stage in a hall with a wooden platform. A long-haired man with a full beard, wearing a gold-brocaded tunic over white garments, leans forward and places his hands on the head of a seated man in a maroon sweater who sits in a wheelchair. Behind him stands another man in a grey jacket. At right, a woman in a yellow kurta with a white shawl kneels beside a white plastic box on a red rug, with red and white flower arrangements and a red draped table behind. On the left, an audience line of women in saris and salwar kameez waits, and an elderly woman with a walker stands near a camera tripod. A banner at upper right shows a portrait of a turbaned man, with text reading 'SRI NITHYANANDA' partly visible. The bearded man in gold brocade has long, swept-back hair and matches the page's a person reference only partially, so identity is uncertain.
