Indoor photo in a green-walled room with gold-patterned curtains. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron cloth wrap, sits on a white-draped sofa with a gold ceremonial staff beside him and fruit at the bottom edge. He places his hand on the head of a man in a white kurta who bows with palms pressed together. Behind them, several women stand in a row: one in a white sari with a red-and-gold border and a lanyard badge, another in a beige sari with red border and a badge, and others in white and cream saris with beaded necklaces. Their blessing-like gesture suggests a darshan exchange.
