A photograph of a large indoor convention hall filled with many men dressed in white shirts and white kurtas. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt with raised palm and gold wristwatch stands before a robed figure in a turquoise turban, white garment, red-and-turquoise shawl and long dark hair, who touches the man's forehead in a blessing. Other attendees in white and a few in pale patterned shirts crowd behind, with a ceiling fan visible at the right edge. The setting suggests darshan at a gathering; the seated figure wears a turquoise turban and red and turquoise shawl, a person cue.
