Indoor darshan scene. A seated figure in orange saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a red tilak on the forehead has one hand resting on the head of an elderly woman in a purple sari and green bangles who bows low before him. A white-clad older man on the left stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them a monk in orange with a white-and-orange tilak holds a paper slip, and a white-robed attendant stands near a table with a flower arrangement in a terracotta vase, brass plates and offerings. White cushions and bedding surround the seated figure. The seated figure's appearance is distinctive but recognisable only as a devotee-blessing role, so the identity is left uncertain.

Behind them stands another monk in orange robes with a red sash, and a man in a red shirt. A white cloth-wrapped bundle and small blue books lie on a table in the foreground, and a black electric fan and maroon curtain are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-clad man with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala is a candidate for Swamiji, based on those cues.2008-03-23A long-haired figure in an orange sleeveless robe and rudraksha mala holds a pineapple out toward a woman in a pale yellow blouse who reaches for it. Beside her a man in white kneels and watches. Behind them a standing man in orange wears a rudraksha mala and a white garment, and a tray of items sits on a white cloth. Other devotees are partly visible at the lower edge, and a pink-and-blue stack of printed material lies at the right. The setting appears to be an indoor gathering with a red curtain behind.
