A healing blessing at an indoor event hall with a red curtain behind. A man in an orange sleeveless top and orange wrap, hair tied back, places his hand on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows forward. A young man in white with an orange shawl and a red tilak on his forehead holds up a printed card. Behind them a crowd of older men in shirts watches.

A photograph of a healing blessing session in a hall with a deep red curtain behind. A man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe, with long swept-back hair, places both hands on the head of a seated man in white clothes who bows forward. Behind them, a man in an orange shawl and white garments stands watching, and other devotees in white and orange shawls, one with a rudraksha-style necklace, stand nearby.
