A photograph of a healing blessing at the event. A man in a white collared shirt bows forward with his palms pressed together in prayer, eyes closed, his head being touched by a man in an orange robe whose hand rests on his crown. Beside him a woman in a red sari with gold bangles stands with her hands folded in namaste. Behind them a man in an orange shawl with an ID badge on his chest and other people in white stand watching. The scene suggests a blessing or healing offering, with no clearly identifiable a person visible; the orange-robed figure is a devotee or sannyasi and his appearance does not confidently match the cues needed for identification.
