In the foreground, a long-haired figure wearing a bright turquoise turban and a turquoise-and-white sheer shawl raises one arm in a blessing gesture while another figure in a white shirt and brown rudraksha-style beaded mala leans in and places a hand on the head of a young woman in a yellow and pink sari with gold bangles. Behind them, rows of delegates watch, and a standing electric fan is visible at the right edge. The setting suggests darshan given to delegates at a convention session.
