A photograph of a darshan blessing on a stage. A man with short dark hair in white dhoti and orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala, holds his palm raised while a woman in an orange shawl and white top stands beside him with her eyes closed. A figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a tiger-striped orange and black garment, pearl necklaces and a pink and white flower garland, reaches up with bangled arms to place a hand on the man's forehead. Audience members and a camera operator are visible in the dim background.
