Darshan is derived from the Sanskrit word darsana meaning “sight,” “vision,” or “appearance.” In the Hindu tradition, darshan refers to the beholding of a holy person, sacred object, natural phenomenon, or deity. Darshan implies a mutual interaction between the viewer and the perceived object or being. Although it requires nothing more than the performance of seeing, darshan is considered a powerful form of worship and process of spiritual fulfillment.
