Indoor darshan at an ashram hall. A figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a saffron-orange robe sits on a red cushioned seat and places a hand on the head of a man in a white shirt who bends forward in devotion. Around them stand saffron-stoled attendants in white, and devotees in white and orange clothes wait in line, one holding blue slips. A white table holds rudraksha beads, vibhuti packets, sweets, fruit and religious literature. A red curtain and a stage backdrop frame the scene.
