A photograph of a darshan-style blessing. On the left, a smiling woman in a red turban and red shawl printed with dark script, wearing a leopard-print top and rudraksha beads, reaches out and presses her palm to the forehead of an older white-haired man on the right. He wears a white kurta, a red printed shawl and a red lanyard, and holds up his other hand in a gesture of receiving. Behind them, several people in white and red-shawled attire stand in a warmly lit hall with ornate gold pillars and a long wooden staff with a silver top visible. The moment appears to be an intimate blessing exchange.
