A photograph inside a decorated hall with red walls and a large gold throne at left. A seated figure in a rust-red turban, red-orange robes with gold trim, a coral bead necklace and gold ornaments and a gold bangle sits on the throne, extending his hand toward a kneeling older man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who holds out a red apple. Behind them stand a bald priest in orange robes with gold trim and a rudraksha mala, a seated monk in orange with a headband, and several women in white, pink and red saris looking on. Apples lie in the foreground and a brass lamp stands at right. Appearance cues for the seated figure (turban, coral beads, gold ornaments) fit the a person label, though the frame gives no firm identification.

Before them a man in a grey-blue collared shirt kneels and holds out fruit in cupped palms. Behind, a shaved-headed attendant in a red-orange robe with a vertical tilak and rudraksha mala sits beside a gold-framed throne, with standing attendants in red and gold clothing and a brass lamp beside them. This is a devotional darshan with fruit offering.

The older man wears an orange turban and cream shawl with a saffron stole and reaches forward with both hands. A bald, bespectacled attendant in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits behind the throne and holds a yellow paper. Brass oil lamps stand behind, and standing people in white and cream clothes watch at the right edge.
