A photograph of a darshan moment on a raised platform beside a gilded throne. A person in a red turban, leopard-print top and multiple rudraksha malas leans in to embrace a smiling man with short bleached-blond hair in a white t-shirt, who wears a red scarf printed with mantra text. The seated figure holds a silver staff with a finial. Behind them, people in white kurtas and lanyards stand near a gold deity murti and brass lamps. Appearance-based cues for a person candidate are present but the face and identity cannot be confirmed, so the role is given as a seated figure in a turban giving darshan.
