Photograph of a devotional darshan scene in front of a golden throne backed by a rich yellow marigold garland and ornate embroidered blue, green and gold panels with red petals scattered nearby. A bearded man with a white tilak on his forehead wears an orange-brown robe and a purple-and-white flower garland, smiling as he is approached. In the foreground a bald, bare-chested man in white dhoti-style shorts with a white sacred thread stands with his back to the camera, hands joined in namaskar. A woman in a pink and gold sari with a folded gold border is bowing with her hands together. Golden lion-shaped armrests frame the throne on both sides. Whether the bearded robed man is a person is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.
