A nighttime outdoor darshan event with a large crowd of devotees in white clothes seated on blue and red chairs behind barricades. In the foreground, a person in an orange turban, orange robe and a white and orange flower garland with yellow marigold-style beads stands at right, bending toward a man in a white shirt who is holding a small child in a pink outfit. A second man with long hair and an orange shawl with a red tilak stands beside them. Orange flags and string lights decorate the background, and a digital clock showing 7:30 sits at right beside fruit offerings. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long hair, an orange turban and a garland, which are appearance cues for a person, but the figure is shown from behind and at an angle, so identity is uncertain.
