A photograph of a darshan session at a large hall with a crowd of seated devotees in white, cream and orange clothing on a red floor. In the foreground, a bearded man in a white embroidered kurta and a pale turquoise turban places his right palm on the forehead of a young man in a checked white and beige shirt who has his eyes closed. Behind them, another man in a yellow shirt and a man in white assist and watch. A person in a blue saree sits at right. The man in the turban has long dark hair and a full beard; the description notes his distinctive turban and long hair as cues, but the page-level identity is not established from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a darshan giver.
