A bald, elderly man in orange robes walks barefoot across the room, while a woman in an orange sari with a matching orange head covering smiles beside him. Behind them, a bearded man in orange stands near a man in an orange turban holding a booklet, and a man in orange with a folder stands by the door. On the left, a man in a white shirt holds a metal pot, another man in orange stands nearby, and a white-bearded elder in orange sits on the sofa holding printed pamphlets. A cream-clothed hand is visible on the lower left. Seven people are visible, and the ritual role of the moment is unclear; the elder in front wears plain orange robes with no visible crown, malas or other distinctive regalia, so the identity of the bald figure remains uncertain.2008-02-17February 25 20112011-02-25 +1 copiesA photograph of a healing darshan. A long-haired man in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala lays his hand on the head of a seated devotee in a white shirt and beaded mala.

Other orange-robed attendees, a man in red shirt and glasses, a white-clad helper, and a seated elderly woman with grey hair stand or sit around. A tray with offerings and a small brochure are on the cloth. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man in orange with rudraksha mala and flowing hair, performing the blessing.2008-03-23
