Indoor darshan scene in a hall with a red-and-white striped runner and a stanchion rope. A long-haired person in a terracotta-orange dhoti and wrap, wearing multiple rudraksha malas, a ceremonial silver pendant and a red tilak, smiles and raises one hand in blessing. Beside them a bald priest in a pale pink dhoti with gold border holds a gold tray with a folded paper and a gold staff-like object. Devotees on the left press palms together; a boy in a striped shirt watches. Behind, a golden throne and a red-and-gold backdrop with a crescent moon are visible, with more devotees in orange and red garments.
