A photograph of a darshan-style blessing at an indoor event. A woman in a red turban and red shawl with printed text, wearing a leopard-print top and rudraksha bracelets, presses her palm to the forehead of a seated man with greying hair who wears a white shirt, red shawl and rudraksha bracelets. Gold-patterned fabric and a red cushioned seat are at left, and white-clad attendees stand in the background. The gesture appears to be a blessing, with the seated man bowing forward.
