Photograph of a satsang-style darshan in an indoor hall. A long-haired man in saffron/orange robes sits on a raised seat at right, extending his hand to touch the head of a man in a light blue checked shirt who bends forward; a white-shirted man steadies him. Behind them, young men in white kurtas with orange shawls and a rudraksha mala stand, one with shaved head. At left, women in saris and a woman with praying hands watch; a fan, a clock displaying 11:14, and a table with books, cloth and offerings sit nearby. The sitting robed figure shows distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in darshan; the touched devotee is in a checked shirt.
