A photograph of a darshan session at a large indoor convention hall. A man in white robes and a pale blue turban leans forward and places his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in a white collared shirt who kneels before him with hands folded. Behind them, seated and standing devotees fill the hall, many women wearing white saris and salwar kameez, some in orange and pink. Pale blue and white banners hang in the background and a red carpeted walkway runs through the crowd. The man in the turban is a person by appearance: a light blue turban and white robes with a long swept-back hair, though the cues are limited.
