Photograph of a crowded indoor darshan with devotees pressing forward. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in orange saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a wristwatch raises his hand to his mouth while a woman in orange blesses or touches his arm. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in a red sari with gold bangles reach toward the robed figure. A red curtain and a white fan stand in the background. The scene is a sarva darshan with healing and blessings, and the orange-robed figure's appearance does not clearly establish that he is a person.
