Indoor darshan scene in a modern room with cream walls and a wooden panel. A seated man in a rust-red robe with red flower garlands and a dark rudraksha mala holds a silver trident aloft, smiling, with a silver bangle on his upper arm. Before him a woman in an orange sari and a man in a white dhoti shirt with a red-beaded garland kneel, the woman's hands extended toward a lit oil lamp. Saffron-clad young attendants in orange sit behind, one photographing with a camera. A framed painting of a saffron-robed figure hangs on the right, and a bunch of flowers lies on the orange cushioned seat.
