A photograph in a small room with a light-coloured wall and a partly visible tiled floor. A bare-chested, white-haired elderly man in an orange cloth wrap stands at left, bending over a person lying on a low bed or mat. Beside them, two young men in orange clothing stand, one touching the reclining person's shoulder and the other holding a ritual object. The reclining person wears orange clothes. Figures in saffron-coloured garments and a few additional men are visible at right. The scene appears to be a healing or blessing moment in an ashram setting.
