A photograph of a devotional gathering in an orange-draped hall. A young man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered in an orange garment with a pink shawl, a white jasmine garland and a red-and-white flower mala, smiles while extending his hand to bless a gray-haired woman in a cream sari with orange border who presses her palms together. Other devotees, several women in saffron and red, crowd close. A bald man in white with an orange shawl stands at right beside a silver tray holding offerings and papers. The scene suggests darshan and blessing during satsang.
