Photo of a darshan and blessing scene in an indoor hall. A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair tied back extends a hand to bless a young man in a red-and-white striped polo shirt seated in a chair, who is being touched on the head. Standing behind the seated figure is a shaved-headed young man in orange robes with a tilak, holding a small card and a red cloth. To the right, two young men in orange shawls and white kurtas stand near a fruit basket with pineapple and oranges and a white altar cloth. Several onlookers in white and checked shirts crowd around. Strings of rudraksha-style beads and dried garlands rest on a white cloth in the foreground, and a wooden staff is visible. No a person candidate can be confirmed from appearance alone, so the seated figure is described by role only.

A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned seat and places one hand on the head of a young man in a red striped polo shirt seated in a wheelchair. The seated figure wears a rudraksha mala, the most distinctive cue being the long swept-back hair and orange robes; the page names a person for this event, so the identification is appearance-based and probable. A shaved-headed man in orange and white stands behind, and men in white shirts and orange shawls with a crowd press in around the wheelchair. A basket of fruit and a brass tray with offerings are visible at right. Around 10 people are visible.2008-03-12Indoor darshan scene at an event hall.
