A photograph of an outdoor darshan at a temple-style stone platform. A seated man in orange saffron cloth wears a long red and white garland and a red tilak on his forehead, his eyes lowered and hands clasped in his lap. He sits on a white-draped chair in front of a microphone on a stand. Behind him, a raised altar is draped with white and gold-bordered cloth, with brass lamps and a small gold deity murti. Two heads are visible at the bottom edge, one at right in an orange and white garment. A probable Swamiji is seated centrally, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a ceremonial garland, while the appearance cues are present but he is seated in a chair during a darshan.
