A photograph of a ceremonial darshan scene in a richly decorated hall with red walls and a gold-carved throne. A seated figure on the right wears a red turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, with a saffron-and-gold garment and a leopard-print seat beneath. The seated figure holds a lemon-like fruit and extends a hand toward a man in a blue-and-white checked shirt and white trousers who kneels with palms joined and head bowed. Standing behind them are a bald man in saffron robes with rudraksha beads, a bald monk in red, a man in a yellow shirt with arms folded, a man in white kurta, and a cameraman with a tripod-mounted video camera. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure on the throne wears a red turban, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace, matching the page's claim of his presence.
