Night outdoor photo at an evening darshan. A seated figure with short dark hair in a bun, a red bindi and an orange shawl over a bare shoulder, has a hand raised to the forehead of a shorter, light-haired man in an orange t-shirt with a dark beaded mala and a silver bracelet, whose palms are raised toward him. Behind them, blurred people sit and a bright lamp glows in the dark. Wooden furniture and a red box with cloth sit in the foreground, with a white and blue banner behind. The seated figure matches a person's presentation with a bun, red bindi and saffron shawl, and the page names him as present, so this is a probable in-person identification. The orange-clad man receives a blessing with palms raised.
