Photo of a group of smiling devotees gathered around a seated figure on a red and gold throne at a darshan. The central seated figure wears an orange-saffron turban, garlanded with orange and white flower malas, and holds up a printed pamphlet. Around him, women in saris of pink, blue, green and red crowd close, one holding a toddler in orange clothes, a young girl in a floral dress, and a man in a blue shirt holding a second printed leaflet. A standing man in orange robes stands at the right edge. The gold ornate backdrop behind the throne suggests a temple-like hall. Roughly ten people are visible.
