A large crowd gathers at an indoor convention, with many people in white clothes and some in bright colours. In the foreground a man in a turquoise turban and white shirt extends his hands toward the forehead of a young man in a white shirt whose eyes are closed. Other men in white and pale shirts raise their palms in a blessing gesture beside them. Behind them, hundreds of attendees stand among pillars, some in saffron, orange and white garments. The setting suggests darshan being given to delegates at a spiritual gathering.

A figure in white with a pale turquoise turban and long dark hair places a palm on the forehead of a young man in a white plaid shirt with eyes closed. Two other young men stand beside him, one in a red checked shirt and one in a red thread around his neck, with a dense crowd of devotees in white and pastel clothing behind them.
