Photograph from an indoor convention hall with many white-clad attendees filling the background under overhead lights. In the foreground a man in a turquoise turban and a white robe with a turquoise-embroidered shawl, long dark hair swept back, extends his hand to the forehead of a young woman in a cream outfit with a white hair clip, who has her palm raised. A young man in an orange-brown shirt stands beside her, watching. The turbaned man's distinctive turquoise turban, long hair and ornate shawl match the page's Swamiji reference, so he is described as Swamiji (probable), giving darshan to a devotee at a convention session.
