A crowded indoor convention hall with a dense mass of people. In the foreground a man in a turquoise turban and white embroidered kurta raises both palms toward a young man in a blue-and-yellow checked shirt, whose head is bowed as if receiving a blessing. Other attendees in white shirts with name badges stand nearby, and many more devotees fill the background, some wearing saffron and pink saris. The scene reflects a darshan moment at a multi-day convention, but the exact ritual is not clearly visible.
