A photograph of a kneeling devotee in white shirt and white dhoti bowing with his head touching the forehead of a seated figure in orange-saffron robes. The seated figure sits beneath a golden multi-hooded naga (serpent) canopy and a gilded tree-like structure with gold leaves, decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands. Potted orange and red flowers stand at the sides. The seated figure has long dark hair and a tilak mark, consistent with a sannyasi receiving darshan; appearance suggests a person seated on a throne-like seat, though identity is uncertain from the image alone.
