A photograph from a convention session in which a person wearing a white turban and a white garland with pink, green and purple flowers stands in the foreground, placing a hand on the forehead of a kneeling young boy in white clothes with a rudraksha-style mala and folded hands in prayer. Behind them, several men in white shirts and lanyard badges stand watching, and a red mat is visible on the floor. The image shows blur from motion and a warm, yellow-toned light. The turbaned figure's long dark hair and ornate gold necklace are visible, as is a man in orange robes at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the turbaned figure in white with long hair, garland and gold necklace is a candidate, so this is a blessing moment at a convention.
