A photograph of a darshan session in a crowded hall with pillars and hanging yellow and orange banners. A bearded man in a white robe and a pale turquoise turban stands at left, his right hand raised and pressed onto the head of a young man in a checked orange-and-white shirt who has both hands raised. Behind them a dense crowd of mostly men in white shirts and dhotis, and some women in saris, watches or waits. The bearded man's appearance and turban are consistent with the page's a person reference, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone; he is described here by role as the person giving blessing.
