A photograph of a darshan session at a large indoor convention hall, with a crowd of mostly white-clad attendees behind. In the foreground, a long-haired man in a white embroidered outfit with a turquoise shawl and a turquoise turban is placing his hands on the head of a young man in a checked shirt, whose eyes are closed. Beside them a young woman in a lavender top and gold bangles holds her hands up near the recipient. Another person in a red garment is partly visible. A fan and a cooler stand at the upper right. The man's appearance with long hair, turban and turquoise shawl is a distinctive cue, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
