A seated figure in a rust-orange robe with a long rudraksha-style bead necklace sits on a white-cushioned red throne in a hall, gesturing with one raised hand toward a seated audience. Dozens of devotees sit cross-legged on white mats, many women in orange and white saris and men in white dhotis, some with hair in buns and braids. A ceremonial staff and silver-topped ritual rods stand beside the throne. Behind them a large golden deity murti or statue stands near the back wall, and a screen shows a figure in pink. Cameras on tripods film the darshan from the side. Walls display framed pictures and hanging lanterns. Possible identity: a person, seated on the throne, in orange robe with rudraksha necklace and long swept hair, giving darshan.
