In short

Darshan streams a temple’s CCTV or NVR cameras live, round the clock or on a schedule, to the temple’s own page, YouTube, Facebook and any RTMP address. It adds looped bhajan (devotional song) audio and the temple logo, recovers dropped streams automatically and records to cloud storage. Its virtual darshan page lets devotees offer aarti, light a diya, offer flowers, ring the bell and blow the conch online, earning punya points. Darshan streams only; darshan tickets are sold in Netra.
