A photograph from a large indoor convention hall with overhead lights and rows of hanging triangular pennants. A man in white robes and a turquoise headwrap sits on a raised seat, a long dark beard and an orange-and-turquoise shawl visible, and reaches out to place his hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt who raises his other hand. Behind them, seated and standing devotees in white, orange and striped clothing fill the hall, and a white pedestal fan stands at the left edge. The setting suggests darshan given to delegates.

A large indoor crowd gathers on a red carpeted floor at a convention hall, with white plastic chairs and many people seated and standing. In the foreground, a bearded man in a white embroidered kurta and a turquoise turban raises his right hand and presses it onto the forehead of a young man in a white shirt, who has his palms pressed together in reverence. A young man in white with an orange shawl sits at the right edge. The room has pedestal fans and tall pillars. Partially visible white and orange fabrics are in the lower frame. The bearded man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.2008-02-09February 09 20082008-02-09A photograph at a large indoor convention hall shows a bearded man in a white robe and pale turquoise turban seated at left, his palms raised toward the head of a young man in a light blue-and-white striped shirt who leans in to receive the blessing.

In the foreground a man in a white robe and a light turquoise turban stands on a raised platform, reaching out his right hand toward a young man in a white shirt who raises his palm. The turbaned figure's presentation is consistent with the page's reference to a darshan session, though the face is not visible enough to confirm identity, so a person is unsure. Other attendees wear white shirts, kurtas and saris, and a red-orange cloth lies at the lower edge.2008-02-09A large indoor convention hall filled with a dense crowd, many dressed in white.
