A seated man in an orange robe with rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair sits on a white-draped couch, extending a hand toward a kneeling woman in a peach checked sari whose head is lowered. A saffron-clad young man and a shaved-headed attendant in white with orange shawls stand behind, with a tray of flowers, papers and offerings on the table beside. Several standing devotees in white shirts and a seated elderly man with hands folded in namaste watch. A white-draped table, red curtain and a blue-and-yellow patterned hanging form the backdrop. The scene reads as darshan with blessings during a satsang.
