A photograph of a darshan session in a hall with white draped seating and a red curtain. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe sits on a white couch-like seat, holding a small white card or paper that a devotee in a pink sari receives. A shaven-headed man in orange robes stands beside them, and a woman in white and yellow tends an offering table with a silver tray of sweets. Crowded devotees in white shirts, dhotis and sarees press forward, a standing fan is visible at left, and an orange-draped figure stands at the centre front. Whether the seated figure is the a person candidate cannot be settled from appearance alone, though long swept hair and orange robes are present.
