A man in a turquoise turban and white kurta with green speckles, with long dark hair and a red-orange shawl, places his palm on the forehead of a young man in a pink-and-maroon checked shirt with a name badge, who has his eyes closed and a vertical tilak mark. Behind them a large crowd of devotees in white and colourful clothing fills a hall, with a fan at left and a red-carpeted area in the background. The scene resembles darshan with forehead blessing. Swamiji (probable) cues are present for the man: long swept-back hair, turban, red-orange shawl and a white robe; he is the one giving blessing while the young delegate receives it.
