A seated man in an orange-gold silk shawl with pink and white beaded garlands and a leopard-print cloth on his lap receives a brass tray of fruit, including pineapples, bananas and apples, from a standing man in white dhoti and cream shawl wearing a rudraksha mala. A small boy in a yellow T-shirt and a bald older man in white kurta lean in to offer the tray. Behind them a trident and a silver staff stand near a lit stage backdrop, with a priest in white and bare-chested attendants with white body markings. The seated figure's dress and throne suggest a person, with a swept-back hair and ornate gold-and-pink clothing; this is a darshan with fruit offering.

May 04 20182018-05-04A seated man in an orange-red silk shawl with a gold border and red-and-white beaded garlands, with a white forehead mark, extends his right hand over a woven basket of fruit held by a bald man in cream kurta. A small boy in a yellow shirt reaches for a mango-like fruit. A priest in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands behind, smiling. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and a gold necklace, with a silver throne and a leopard-print seat cover behind him, and a trident on the right. The page names the figure as Swamiji, and the cues are a crown-like gold headpiece-style hair, ornate orange-gold shawl, rudraksha-style beaded garlands and ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable match. A fruit offering is being presented to him during darshan.2018-05-04 +1 copiesPhoto 11716961May 04 20182018-05-04 +1 copiesDarshan scene in a hall.
