Photograph of a sarva darshan at an outdoor ashram setting with a striped tent canopy and colourful banners. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange robe, smiles while reaching out to touch the head of a young man in a white shirt who leans over a steel barrier with hands pressed together in reverence. Behind them a bearded man in orange robes stands at left, and a crowd of devotees in white and patterned shirts watches. The long swept hair, saffron robe and bindi match the page's account of a person at this event, so the central figure is a person, though a face-based identity is not asserted.
