A photograph of a darshan moment at a large indoor convention hall. In the foreground a young man in a yellow and white striped shirt with a black wristwatch stands with one palm raised and the other hand on his forehead, while a figure in a turquoise-blue turban and white garment with a red and orange shawl places a hand on his head. The turbaned figure has long dark hair and a full beard. Behind them a dense crowd of devotees in white and orange clothing fills the hall, several with hands folded in prayer. The presenter's wrap and turban are distinctive, but the face is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only as a person giving blessing.
