In the foreground, a person in a turquoise turban and turquoise-and-red shawl, with long dark hair, places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt, who has his eyes closed and palms raised. A young woman in white with a braid and red-and-gold bangles also raises her hands with eyes lowered. The turquoise-turbaned figure shows distinctive long hair, a turban and vivid shawl, but appearance alone is not enough to confirm identity, so the person is described by role only as a presiding figure giving darshan at a convention session. Ceiling fans and a large audience fill the background.2008-02-09
