A large indoor crowd of devotees, mostly men in white and pale shirts with some wearing red headbands, fills a hall with a red floor carpet and hanging orange banners. In the foreground a man in a turquoise turban and a white and turquoise shawl, with long dark hair, stands with palms raised toward a woman in a red and orange patterned sari with a gold bangle, who holds her palms together in a darshan gesture. Another man in a striped shirt stands beside them, and devotees lean in around them. The man in the turquoise turban has distinctive long hair and a turquoise wrap, so this appears to be a person giving darshan to delegates at a convention session.
