Photograph of a crowded hall with many people in white and light-coloured shirts. In the foreground, a long-haired man in a turquoise and white robe with a matching turquoise turban extends his hand in blessing over the head of a young woman in a white top with gold bangles, who has her hands raised in a mudra. A young man in a striped shirt stands beside her. The man in turquoise wears a white flower garland and a turquoise shawl over white clothes, a visible cue consistent with a person, giving darshan to delegates during a convention session. A standing fan and a red cloth are visible at right. Several other attendees line the background.
