A woman with short grey hair, glasses and a white top stands at right, holding a small object near the face of a young man in a dark t-shirt with a name badge who sits at a table. A red cloth covers the table with offerings in front of him. Behind them a shelf holds small deity murtis and a framed image of a woman in orange, and a white-robed figure stands at left. A brick wall and wooden chairs complete the room.

Her hands are raised in a gesture of receiving. Behind them hangs a red velvet drape, and a woman in white sits watching. The figure's bare-chested presence with the orange shawl and ornate staff is a distinctive cue, so this is a person giving darshan.2012-08-22September 16 20122012-09-16A photograph of a devotional blessing in a small indoor room. A bare-chested figure in a red-and-orange dhoti-style wrap with a rudraksha mala draped across the chest and neck is raising a hand toward the forehead of a young man in white who kneels, holding a red fruit in cupped hands. The figure has a long dark hair bun. Nearby, an elderly woman in a cream sari with a red and white flower garland and a rudraksha mala looks on, and a man in white with an orange cloth stands behind. On a table draped in orange cloth sit bananas, a plate of fruit, a small bowl and a white electric fan. Orange curtains and a framed picture appear at the right edge, and other devotees stand in the background.2014-07-04 +2 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04April 24 20062006-04-24January 04 20162016-01-04Photo of a man in a plain white t-shirt seated before a long-haired figure in a white dhoti-style garment with gold border, who sits on a white cushion and presses a hand to the man's forehead in a blessing gesture.
