A photograph of a devotional darshan scene. On the right, a smiling figure in a yellow turban decorated with a jeweled brooch and peacock-feather ornament, wearing a yellow shawl, layered red and orange marigold garlands and a pearl necklace, raises one hand in blessing toward the line of devotees. On the left, several men with hands pressed together in namaste stand in a line; one older man wears white with glasses, a younger man wears a white shirt, and another wears a red-and-white checked shirt. Behind them, more devotees and robed attendants stand in a bright hall with yellow drapery. The figure's face and identity are not established by visible cues, so the subject is described by role only.
