A photo of a darshan on a stage with a dark blue-grey curtain and a painted yellow and multicolour pillar at the right. A woman in a white sari kneels on a white-covered mattress with a green leaf border, her hands pressed together as a figure in an orange robe places a hand on her head. The robed figure, whose long dark hair is swept back, sits or kneels on a white-draped seat with a large white circular backdrop. A man in an orange robe kneels at the left edge of the mattress, and a woman in an orange top sits behind the kneeling devotee. Two women in white saris stand at the right beside a white wall and a white floor fan. The appearance-based label is probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair and an orange robe giving darshan; the figure is seated in a visible ritual role with the devotee kneeling before him.
