Photograph of a crowded indoor hall during an event. In the foreground a man in a pale turquoise head wrap and long white garment reaches forward with his hands raised, blessing or touching the heads of two young people. A young woman in white with a red-and-grey sari stands with eyes lowered, and a young man in a turquoise checked shirt with a lanyard badge bows his head with palms together. Behind them many people in white, cream and orange clothing stand in rows. The man in the turquoise turban has long hair and is the central figure; the identification of the person giving darshan is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described only by role. Red floor and white pillars are visible in the background.
