A photograph of a warmly lit indoor darshan hall. A long-haired man in a saffron/orange robe with a rudraksha mala and dark flowing hair leans forward smiling and holds the shoulder of an older woman in glasses and a green sari with a red bead necklace, who is seated and smiling. Behind them a younger shaved-headed monk in orange with a red shoulder cloth stands, and men in white shirts and dhotis stand nearby. A ceiling fan, red-draped seating and a table with rudraksha malas and offerings are visible. Several young girls in the foreground face the scene. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala) is the central figure giving blessings to a devotee.
