A photograph of a darshan at a red-draped tent. A bare-chested figure with long swept-back hair, an orange turban and a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a red cloth, holding out a hand to a devotee and taking offerings from a woman in a red sari and gold jewellery. Nearby stands a young man in orange robes wearing a long gold chain and a rudraksha-style necklace, guiding a devotee bending forward, while a man in a dark shirt reaches in with a fruit. A gold ceremonial staff rises in the foreground, and women in saris and devotees in orange and red crowd the background.
