A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red saffron robe with long dark hair and a red bindi, receiving a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti. The devotee, kneeling on the left, holds a folded white paper or card in both hands and bows forward, with one hand raised toward the seated figure's head. The seated figure rests on a red cushion before an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral and figural carvings, flanked by garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers. The setting suggests a darshan or blessing moment.
