A crowded indoor healing session where a man in orange robes with long swept-back hair stands at right, one hand laid on the crown of a seated man in a mustard-yellow shirt and rudraksha mala. Behind them a shaved-headed monk in orange clothing holds a folded paper, and a man in a green cloth pats the seated devotee's shoulder. Many onlookers in white shirts and dhotis press close, some with a vibhuti mark on the forehead. The scene reflects a blessing or healing line, with a wooden wall and doorway in the background. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired orange-robed figure at right shows distinctive long hair and saffron clothing and is giving the blessing.
