Night outdoor darshan event with a large crowd of devotees in white and pastel clothing filling the background under floodlights. In the foreground, a figure in an orange robe and orange turban sits on a raised yellow platform, placing a hand on the head of a bowing older man in white clothes with a white cloth over his shoulder. Around them, women in white and yellow saris and a man in an orange shawl stand by, with a tray of wrapped sweets and a red box holding rudraksha malas at the lower edge. Swamiji candidate: the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange turban and an orange sleeveless robe, which are qualifying cues, so this is a probable appearance-based label for the seated figure giving blessings.
