Photograph of an energy darshan session in a hall. A bare-chested figure in saffron-orange wrap and orange turban places his right palm on the forehead of a young man in white kurta who kneels with hands pressed together. Behind them, several men in white kurtas and lanyard badges stand watching, one holding a small tambourine at left, and a white air cooler sits at the left edge. Pink flower petals lie on the floor. The orange-wrapped figure has distinctive long dark hair and saffron clothing, qualifying cues for a person presence at an in-person darshan, though the face is not visible.

A bare-chested figure wrapped in saffron-orange cloth with a matching orange turban places his right hand on the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt and white trousers, who kneels with bowed head at a convention darshan session. Behind them, standing devotees in white kurta-style clothing, with name badges and red-and-white lanyards, watch closely; one older man wears a rudraksha-style mala and a white shirt. A bowl of pink and white flower petals lies in the lower foreground, and a white cage containing a small animal sits at left beside a wall with a hanging garland. The scene is a blessing or energy darshan given to an individual devotee. The saffron-clad figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description of a person, though his face is not visible and the identification is uncertain.2003-03-16March 16 20032003-03-16March 16 20032003-03-16March 16 20032003-03-16March 16 20032003-03-16A photograph of a darshan session in a hall. A figure in an orange-saffron wrap and turban, bare-chested and with a dark belt, stands before a kneeling man in white who has his hands folded in namaste. The standing figure presses his palm to the kneeling man's forehead while petals and flower fragments fall through the air. Around them, a crowd of men in white kurtas and dhotis stand watching, several wearing red lanyards and ID badges. One man at left shakes a tambourine-like cymbal, and a metal grille and a bowl of offerings sit at the left edge. The saffron-clad figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues including the turban and saffron clothing, while the kneeling man and onlookers are devotees and attendees.2003-03-16A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange turban and matching saffron robe, draped with pink and white flower petals, leaning forward with his hand resting on the head of a man lying face-down in a white cloth. The seated man wears a small red mark on his forehead and smiles with eyes lowered. Behind them, several onlookers in white shirts watch, some raising hands, and petals drift through the air. A white air conditioning unit stands at right. The scene appears to be a blessing or head-touching gesture during a gathering indoors.Photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange wrap and orange turban with a red tilak on the forehead, bare-chested, placing a hand on the forehead of a man in white kneeling before him. Two of the figure's arms are visible. Standing behind are several men in white shirts and white dhotis; one older man wears a rudraksha mala and an ID badge, and others have their hands folded or raised in namaskar. A small hand drum and a red cloth hang at the left, and flowers lie at the lower left. Probable Swamiji (saffron wrap, orange turban and bare chest, seated and giving blessing to a devotee); the appearance is distinctive but the figure is partly obscured, so this is a probable identification from visible cues only. Appears to depict a darshan blessing session.2003-03-16A photograph of a devotional blessing at an indoor convention hall.
