A photograph of a darshan moment at a large indoor gathering. A man in a turquoise turban and white garment with a turquoise-and-gold shawl, long dark hair swept back, presses his palm to the forehead of a young man with closed eyes wearing a cream embroidered kurta. A young woman in white with a long braid holds her palms raised toward the blessing. Behind them a dense crowd of mostly white-clad attendees fills the hall. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long swept-back hair, turban, ornate shawl) is the person giving darshan, so the figure in turquoise is the probable Swamiji blessing the devotee.
