A large crowd of devotees sits closely packed on the floor of a hall, many with hands folded or heads bowed, during a darshan. At the centre, a man in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, with a gold necklace and armbands, sits on an ornate golden-framed brown leather throne with his palms pressed together in greeting. A microphone stand stands before him and a tall silver staff is held to the right. Devotees in white, saffron and colourful saris and kurtas surround him, with cameras and crew visible in the background.
