Photograph of a energy darshan blessing. A bare-chested figure in an orange saffron turban and orange wrap, with a pink-and-white flower garland on the turban, reaches forward and presses his fingers to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Flower petals scatter in the air. Around them, several people in white clothing stand watching, a girl in a white dress with beads holds petals, and a man in white clothes stands near a wall with red hangings. The orange-clad figure is a person by appearance cues: swept-back hair under a saffron turban, saffron clothing and a bare chest, with the page noting this was the energy darshan session.2003-03-16March 16 20032003-03-16April 20 20032003-04-202004.05.29 30 ASP Karaikudi2004-01-01A photograph of an indoor gathering.
