A photo of a darshan moment indoors. A man with a white forehead band, dark hair in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing a red-and-gold wrap with a white and red flower garland, reaches out to place his palm on the forehead of a younger man in a white shirt and cream sweater vest. A woman in a grey shawl and a woman in white watch nearby, and a golden deity murti or ritual object is visible at left. A book rests on a cloth to the side. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long swept-back hair, saffron-red wrap and ceremonial garland are the qualifying cues.
