Photograph of a darshan and blessing session in a hall. A long-haired figure in saffron/orange robes sits on a red cushioned seat and places a hand on the head of a bearded man wearing a white turban and white shirt. Several devotees in white, yellow and orange clothing crowd around, some with hands folded. A young monk in orange stands at the upper right, and a white fan and a table with booklets and printed materials appear nearby. The saffron-robed figure with long wavy hair and orange-and-gold clothing matches the appearance cues for Swamiji (probable), seen giving blessings.
