Photo of an outdoor evening darshan at a convention. A long-haired man in a white garment with a turquoise and red-orange shawl and a turquoise turban is bending forward to give a blessing, his hand resting on the outstretched hands of a young woman in white kneeling in the foreground. Behind them a large crowd of seated men in white and checked shirts watches, one man wearing a pendant necklace. A white pillar and red-draped stage edge are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in the turquoise turban and ornate shawl is performing darshan.
