A photograph of a dense crowd of devotees pressing forward on a street, many with raised hands and palms outstretched toward a central figure. In the centre, a smiling man wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange dhoti and a rudraksha mala, with long hair falling behind him, and appears to be moving through the crowd. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron garment and ornate orange-beaded necklaces is held by people. Green coconuts hang at left, a draped cloth canopy stretches overhead, and a framed deity picture hangs on a wall at right beneath a yellow streamer. The scene suggests a darshan visit.
