A photograph of an indoor darshan moment. A man with swept-back long dark hair, white vibhuti marks on his forehead, a rudraksha and gold bead mala, and a saffron-and-gold wrap sits on a red-cushioned seat, his arm extended as he touches the forehead of a seated man in a grey knit sweater and a collared shirt with a silver bracelet. A large golden deity murti is visible behind them, with a red flower garland at the upper left. Another person in white is partly visible at the right edge. The page identifies the event as a 2014 Satsang, and the seated man with long hair and ceremonial adornments fits the a person description, so this is an appearance-based probable match.
