A photograph of a darshan line inside an indoor hall with a tiled ceiling and a projection screen on the left. Several devotees stand in a queue with palms pressed together in namaste, including a man in a pink shirt, a man in a white kurta, and a man in a yellow checked shirt. On the right, two saffron-robed priests stand behind a tray of rudraksha malas and small packets. One priest wears an orange turban and ornate beaded necklaces, and the other is shaved-headed with a saffron shawl and gold chain, offering blessings. A small child stands near the chain barrier. The person in the orange turban and saffron clothing with long hair fits the cues, so this is a person appearance, though the image is uncertain.
