A long-haired man in saffron-orange clothing, hair tied in a bun, sits on the right and places his hand on the head of a devotee who kneels in front of him wearing white. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes sits cross-legged holding a mala. Two standing attendants in white shirts with orange shawls and a bald attendant in white stand behind, one holding a book. Offerings of fruit and flowers lie on a white-draped table, and a red curtain and a patterned banner hang behind. Several people sit to the left, including a woman in a pink sari. The page identifies the event as a person satsang, but the seated saffron-clad man's appearance shows long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so he is a person giving blessing.2008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12
