Photograph of a large indoor darshan gathering with many seated and standing devotees on a red floor. In the foreground a man in a pale turquoise turban and white top stands at left, with one hand raised to the forehead of a young man in a grey-brown button shirt whose eyes are closed and whose other hand is raised palm outward. A tilak mark is visible on the young man's forehead. A figure in orange clothing and a rudraksha mala appears behind them. Ceiling fans, pillars and banners frame the hall, and devotees in white and pastel clothes fill the background.

In the foreground a person in a pale teal turban and cream embroidered kurta stands with both hands raised, touching the head of a young man in a brown collared shirt who bows forward. Another young man in an orange-and-cream checked shirt stands beside them with hands near his head. Behind, a large crowd in white, pink and orange clothes fills the hall under hanging lights and orange banners. The turbaned figure's appearance does not clearly establish a specific identity, so the a person field is unsure.2008-02-09February 09 20082008-02-09Indoor convention hall with a crowd of devotees.

A man in a white robe and a light blue turban stands at left with long dark hair and a beard, his right hand raised and pressed to the head of a young man in an orange-brown checked shirt, who stands in front of him. Behind them, a dense crowd of young men and devotees in white and grey shirts sits and stands on the floor, and a floor fan is visible at left. Whether the turbaned man is a person cannot be settled from appearance alone, since the cues are a blue turban and white robe without the distinctive crown or rudraksha adornments; he is best described as a person giving blessing.2008-02-09February 09 20082008-02-09February 09 20082008-02-09February 09 20082008-02-09February 09 20082008-02-09February 09 20082008-02-09
