A photograph of a darshan moment in a temple-style hall with red draperies and a gilded deity murti behind. A long-haired, bearded man in saffron-orange robes and a white and pink flower garland sits on a red and gold ornate throne. He places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt who bows before him, and a woman in a yellow-and-maroon sari sits to the right. A rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. Brass lamps and green foliage decorate the dais. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a garland, distinguishing him from the other attendees. A second long-haired devotee sits at the left edge.
