Photograph of a darshan session on a stage backdropped by a painted night sky with a mountain silhouette and a tall temple gopuram at left. A standing figure in a red-pink robe with a red turban-like headpiece and floral garlands stands at the centre, beside an ornate gold-and-red arched throne. Flowers and potted plants flank the stage and brass lamps stand at the edges. In the foreground, a crowd of devotees with their backs to the camera wear white clothes and orange-red shawls around their shoulders, some with bald heads, and a few hold their hands in prayer.
