A photograph of a healing session indoors. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange cloth draped over his bare upper body sits at right and places his right palm on the crown of a young man's head. The young man, in a white shirt and white dhoti, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. At left, a man in white with a rudraksha mala stands near the frame edge. Behind them, an older man in white with a saffron scarf and a red tilak watches, and a white-clad figure stands near a red curtain. A table at right holds flowers, a kalasha-style vessel and printed brochures. The orange-clad figure matches the appearance cues of Swamiji (probable), seated as the person giving the blessing, with a bare-chested saffron wrap, long swept-back hair and a sacred mark on the forehead. Eight people are visible.
