A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban, with long curly hair falling to the shoulders, reaches forward to touch the forehead of a young boy in a white shirt wearing a black beaded mala and a thin gold headband. Behind them, a large crowd of women and men, many in white, saffron and green saris, watches closely. An elderly man in white shirt sits in the foreground, and a smiling woman in a white sari with a red bindi stands nearby. The scene appears to be a satsang or darshan in an indoor hall with white cloth-covered seating.
