A photograph of a healing or blessing session in a small room. A seated figure in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala holds a yellow pineapple-like fruit toward a kneeling man in a checked shirt, who holds out his hands. Beside them a young man in orange robes holds a paper form, and a woman with jasmine in her hair and a floral top kneels nearby holding a white cloth. Behind them a white-clad attendant with a rudraksha mala holds a cloth, and a white table holds an orange cloth, rudraksha beads, dried leaves and small packets. Several other people stand in the background. The orange-robed figure with long hair and a mala matches the page's a person cues, so the candidate is present in person.
