A photograph of a darshan moment in a golden-hued shrine setting. A long-haired man with a white forehead marking, wearing a rust-red garment, gold armlets, bangles and a pink lotus garland, reaches out to place his hand on the forehead of an elderly bald man in a white shirt who kneels with his palms raised. Golden ornate decor and warm orange light fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold armlets and a pink lotus garland, and is giving blessing to a devotee, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues alone. The elderly devotee in white is a devotee receiving blessing.
