A photograph of a devotional darshan in a classroom-like hall with a large blackboard and white sheet on the floor. A bare-footed figure in a red-orange robe with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a white and red flower garland, raising one hand in blessing. Before him a woman in a peach embroidered sari with flowers in her hair and a man in a light blue shirt bow toward him, offering at a low table covered with a white cloth. On the left an older woman in a white sari with gold border watches. On the right a man in orange robes stands smiling. Brass plates, bowls and offerings lie on the floor and table, and water bottles sit nearby.
