Photograph of an indoor ritual setting with a dark curtain and a standing fan behind. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange shawl, bare-shouldered, sits on a white-cushioned seat and extends an orange object toward a small child in grey, while a second child in white sits nearby. A man in white with an orange shawl and glasses stands behind, and women in white and red saris stand at the right. White and red flower garlands drape the seat, with a tray of offerings and a ceremonial staff in the foreground. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, though the identification remains uncertain.

Behind them, a woman in a white sari and others stand in a queue. On the right, a young boy in white with a chain necklace stands, and men in white dhotis and other devotees move through the hall.

The seated figure's long swept hair, orange wrap and garland match the probable-identity cues; this is a person in the darshan setting.2007-02-11A seated man in an orange sleeveless robe and orange shawl sits on a red velvet throne cushioned with red and maroon pillows, handing small objects into the outstretched hand of a young boy in a striped red and black t-shirt. Behind the boy, a smiling woman in white kneels beside him. On the right, a woman in a yellow sari holds a crying toddler in pink.

A long-haired man in orange robes and a red-and-white flower garland sits on a gold, ornately carved throne with red velvet cushions, holding a small object toward a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti who stands before him.
