A nighttime darshan scene with a crowd of devotees gathered closely around a figure in saffron. A man in a saffron turban and wrap with long, curly hair places his hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt, while the boy looks forward with a rudraksha-like cord visible at his neck. Other men in pink, green and white shirts, one in an orange wrap at the right, stand around them. Behind the group are rows of lit bulbs and a red-cloth offering tray. Two to three people in the crowd have a mobile or microphone in hand at the edge of the frame. The setting appears to be a large outdoor hall at night.
