A photo inside a hall at a satsang-style darshan. A person in a bright orange turban and orange robe, with long loose hair and rudraksha beads, stands beside a white-draped seat and reaches out to touch the head of a seated devotee in a white shirt. Around them, many devotees sit and kneel on the floor in white, pale blue and cream saris and shirts, several extending hands in greeting or blessing. Behind the figure on the wall are three framed portraits and Tamil-script signage, and a cooler stands in the room. Probable Swamiji (orange turban, long hair, rudraksha mala) giving darshan to devotees.
