A large indoor convention hall filled with seated and standing attendees dressed mostly in white. In the foreground, a man in a pale blue turban and white clothes, wearing a long red-orange flower garland, sits on a white chair and places his hand on the forehead of a young man in a white-and-orange striped shirt, whose arms are raised overhead in devotion. Visible in the background are a standing fan, overhead lighting, and saffron pennants strung along the top of the hall. The scene reads as darshan.
