Darshans are similar as to how they are in Palakkad. However, it depends on how many people are there to see her! The more people that show up to see her, the faster your darshan!
Yes, you can sit near her...you should also be able to be near her somewhat in Palakkad as well. You can always approach the stage and tell them you want to sit near Amma..hopefully they should let you. In the ashram you may certainly sit near her, but there is always someone there to monitor how long you will sit and will tell you to get up shortly.
Somtimes people will simply start talking to Amma while she is giving darshan, if you can sit near her...but I feel you have to be brave for that! Everyone always enjoys it when others do that!
You can always try to speak to her during your darshan as well...many people do this.
You can only have 1 per day.
Hope that helps!
