A photograph of a darshan session with flower petals scattered on a brick floor. A young man in a saffron-orange turban and orange shawl, bare-chested beneath it, sits on a white cushioned seat and rests a hand on the knee of a seated man in white kurta with a red-and-gold pendant and a red-bead mala, while the seated man's own hand rests on his lap. Behind them stand several people in white clothing, including a woman in white with dark beads and a man in glasses, and a woman in white holding up a pair of thin rods at the top left. The orange-clad figure is not clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no identification is made.

April 20 20032003-04-202003 -World Tour Chicago USAA photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban, with a white flower garland around his neck, placing his hand on the head of a man bending forward in a white shirt and white dhoti. The seated man sits on a white cloth strewn with rose petals and yellow flowers. Behind them, several people in white clothing stand, including a woman in a white sari with an orange border, and a flowering plant stands at the left edge. The gesture suggests a blessing or initiation-style touch on the head.2003-11-23A photograph of a darshan moment during a retreat. A seated figure in a saffron-orange turban, saffron robe and white jasmine garland, with a bare chest and a red-and-green floral bouquet at his chest, sits on a floral-upholstered chair and places his right hand on the head of a young man kneeling before him. The young man wears white clothes and a rudraksha mala and presses his palms together. Around them, devotees in white, yellow and peach saris and kurtas stand and sit with hands folded, and a seated man with a tilak on his forehead wears white. A brass bowl of red and white flowers sits on the floor, with petals scattered across a patterned mat. A standing fan and a white wicker planter with flowers appear at the right edge.2002-05-12A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron turban, orange robe and white flower garland, with a rudraksha-style pendant at the waist, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in white clothes with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, several people in white garments hold steel bowls of flower petals, and a woman in a white sari with a red-and-gold border stands among them. White and yellow flower petals cover the cloth-draped seat, with pink flowers and a bouquet in the upper left. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. The seated figure has a compatible presentation (saffron turban and robe, garland, rudraksha pendant), so an appearance-based candidate is present, but the cues are not fully distinctive, so the match is uncertain. +1 copies2002 - Glimpses From Various Programs2002-01-01 +1 copies2002 - Glimpses From Various Programs2002-01-01 +1 copiesA photograph of a darshan session in a hall with white walls.
