A photograph of a darshan in a tented pavilion with yellow drapes and red fabric backdrop. A seated man on a gilded throne with a red cushion wears an orange robe and garlands of white flowers and orange marigolds, and gestures while speaking. A white-bearded man in white robes with a red-edged cloth stands before him holding a white shopping bag. Behind, a group of devotees waits in line: women in sarees of red, maroon, green and pink, men in white dhotis and kurtas, and a young man in a white kurta. A monk in an orange robe stands at the right. Rugs cover the floor, and a carved red pillar stands nearby. Several people are visible, so the count is in the 6-20 range.
