A photograph of a darshan session in a large tented hall with hanging orange and yellow pennants and bright overhead lights. A man in a white robe and a light blue turban stands at left with long dark hair and a beard, his right hand raised and pressed to the head of a young man in an orange-brown checked shirt, who stands in front of him. Behind them, a dense crowd of young men and devotees in white and grey shirts sits and stands on the floor, and a floor fan is visible at left. Whether the turbaned man is a person cannot be settled from appearance alone, since the cues are a blue turban and white robe without the distinctive crown or rudraksha adornments; he is best described as a person giving blessing.
