A photo from a Sadashiva Darshan session. A bearded man with long dreadlocks wound up on his head, a white tilak on his forehead, rudraksha beads on his head, wrists and upper arms, and a rust-red sleeveless robe sits smiling and hands a folded white cloth to a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala. Behind them stands a golden deity murti, a gold ceremonial chair arm and a gong, and a red curtain hangs in the background. A shaven-headed man in orange robes sits in the blurred background. Two physical people are clearly visible in the foreground, with a third partly visible at the left edge.
