A photograph of a devotee gathering where a man in a peach-coloured turban with a jewelled ornament and a blue silk garment with gold border, wearing a thick rudraksha mala and bracelets, smiles and raises his palm toward a devotee in a white shirt with eyes closed. Several people stand with hands pressed in anjali mudra at lower left and in the background, and orange and red draped cloth hangs behind. The man in the turban has a tilak on his forehead and is bare-armed in the blue garment; the blessing gesture suggests darshan.
