A photograph of a ceremonial darshan in a stage setting. On the left, a silver-framed shrine holds a seated deity murti painted in red and gold, wearing a red crown, a red and gold garment and layered beaded necklaces, surrounded by a large arch of pink, red and white flower garlands. In front stands a standing man with long dreadlocked hair, bare-chested and wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, bowing toward the murti. Brass bowls and offerings sit on a green-draped table at the front. Behind is a large backdrop of a sunset over temple silhouettes, with a silver trishul and an ornate silver throne at the right edge.
