A photograph of a seated man in a red-brown robe with a rudraksha-style brown beaded shawl and a gold pendant necklace, wearing a green leaf garland and a red bindi on his forehead. He smiles broadly with eyes closed and raises one hand toward a young man seen from behind in a grey vest with black and white striped sleeves. Behind them is an ornate gold throne with carved floral patterns, a red cushioned seat, a gold finial and red drapery. The seated man has long swept-back dark hair and a full beard, with distinctive ceremonial adornments and ornate seating, so the appearance-based label is a person, seated in a role of receiving a devotee at a darshan.
