Photograph of an indoor darshan-style gathering in a hall with glass display cabinets behind. A man in orange saffron robes, a bindi on his forehead, full dark beard and a saffron cloth over his head, sits on a red chair and smiles as he reaches to touch a newborn wrapped in pink cloth held by a man in white dhoti with a gold border and rudraksha-style beads. Beside them a woman in a white embroidered salwar kameez smiles while holding a baby in a white wrap. Behind, a man in a navy and red polo shirt watches, and a man in saffron-coloured robes with a bead necklace takes a photo with a phone. A bronze deity murti stands in a cabinet behind the glass.
