A photograph of a healing or blessing moment. A man in a white shirt sits with eyes closed and head bowed while a man in a sleeveless saffron-orange top stands behind him and presses his right palm to the seated man's forehead, his left hand resting at the jaw. The standing man has long dark hair swept back. Behind them a wall is painted with red and white vertical bands and a red wavy line with lotus-like motifs, and a yellow cloth hangs at left beside a clay pot on the floor. Another orange-clad figure is partly visible at the upper right, and a white-clad figure stands at the left edge. The standing man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, which matches the page's a person reference, but his appearance is not conclusive, so the candidate is marked uncertain.
