A photo of a darshan moment in a large hall crowded with seated and standing devotees, many in white and orange clothes. In the foreground a man with long dark hair and a light blue turban wearing a white embroidered kurta reaches forward and presses his palms to the forehead of a young boy in a white checked shirt, who holds his own hands up in a folded gesture. Behind them women in white saris and saffron-toned clothing watch, and a banner hangs on the wall. The man's appearance with long hair, a turban and white ceremonial dress is consistent with a person, though the photo is not fully clear. He is blessing the boy in a darshan gesture.
