Photograph of a large indoor convention hall crowded with seated attendees, many in white clothes and some with orange headbands. In the foreground a long-haired man in a teal turban and white kurta with a teal and red shawl places his hands on the head of a young woman in a pale yellow top with a long side braid, giving her a blessing. Several young men in white and striped shirts watch nearby, and an electric fan stands at the right edge. The man has long swept-back hair, a turban and distinctive ornate shawl, which are appearance-based cues for a person, giving darshan to delegates at a convention.
