Photograph of a darshan scene in a stage-like hall. A seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a maroon lower garment and a white and red floral garland, sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, hands joined in namaskar. Before him stands a deity murti draped with red and white flower garlands, seated on a golden pedestal with a red and gold garment. A young attendant in an orange-red cloth holds a lit lamp toward the murti, and another person in white sits behind near brass bowls of offerings and oil lamps. A red cloth covers the floor in front of the throne, scattered with petals. A trident stands beside the throne.
