A photograph of a ceremonial darshan on a stage. A man with long swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-red shawl and rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, hands joined in greeting and smiling. A bald man in white kneels and bows low at his feet on a red cloth. To the right, a woman in a red sari with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on the red cloth with hands folded. A silver trident and a kalasha-like lion-footed throne base are visible, with a painted cloudy sky backdrop showing a deity murti. The seated man on the throne is a person by appearance cues: long swept hair, saffron-red shawl, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne setting.
