Receive Prabhupada's blessings at the first Delhi pandal

Yamuna : The first Delhi pandal began on the L.I.C. grounds near Connaught Place and lasted for ten days. At Prabhupada's arrival, hundreds of people surged forward to touch his feet and receive his blessings, as a ring of disciples escorted him through the crowd.

Prabhupada, wearing a gray wool chaddar, his "swami hat" pushed back casually on his head, moved calmly forward toward the stage with natural, aristocratic poise. He sat on the vyasasana, and the audience quieted.
